Chicken Cordon Bleu

I’m afraid I’m falling into a cooking “rut” so I’m trying to break out of my usual meal rotation. And the other night I realized I had all of the ingredients (almost) to make Chicken Cordon Bleu…so here is my take on that classic dish.

First…I pounded out the chicken breasts into thin pieces

 

I added salt and pepper.  Then added thin sliced Swiss cheese and Canadian bacon instead of ham

 

I rolled the chicken into “logs”

 

Then dredged them in seasoned bread crumbs

 

I secured the logs with toothpicks to keep the cheese and bacon inside while cooking

 

And I served the finished entree with a big salad and a glass of RED…

 

The “logs” held together beautifully while cooking

 

And the finished dish was worth the effort

It’s good to step outside your comfort zone once in awhile…and it can be DELICIOUS, too.
