I made a surprise Valentine's dinner for Kurt tonight. He has something up his sleeve for this weekend, so I thought the least I could do was make a nice dinner and get a couple of "love" themed movies at redbox. We had a fun evening!I attempted Chicken Cordon Bleu for the first time. I will NEVER buy Costco's version again.
This recipe was amazing!
Here's the recipe Angie ;-)CHICKEN CORDON BLEU
Ingredients
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 slices Swiss cheese
4 slices cooked ham
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs (I used seasoned Panko)
Sauce – 1 can cream of chicken soup, ½ cup sour cream, 1 TBLS lemon juice
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness.
Dip the chicken in egg wash. Coat both sides with bread crumbs. Sprinkle each piece with salt and pepper then lay the slices of ham and cheese on top. Roll up, securing with toothpicks. Add a pat of butter to top of each.
Place chicken in baking dish and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from oven and place ½ slice cheese slice on top of each breast. Return to oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove toothpicks, top with sauce, and serve immediately.
Serve on a bed of rice with sauce on top. A good side dish is buttered rolls. Mmmmmm!
