Day 4: Le Cordon Bleu Simplified Version

Le Cordon Bleu Simplified and yet still complicated for Most

2 chicken breasts
2 cups of Italian Herbs Bread Crumbs
1 package with 6 slices of ham
1 cup of your choice of white cheese
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon basil
1 egg

Preheat oven to 350, unless you want to wait even longer!

In a bowl beat the egg. In another bowl add the 2 cups of Italian Herbs and Bread Crumbs, 1 tablespoon parsley and 1 table spoon of basil mix well. Cut the chicken in half, or pound it out. Cutting the chicken in half seems to work faster if you have big chicken breasts. Place 3 slices of sliced ham on one half of the chicken breast. Then add the choice of cheese on top of the ham, and place the other half of the chicken on top. Then close the two parts together with tooth picks, if you do it the other way. The complicated and challenging way. (Not really this was just the lazy way) You can pound the chicken out and then place the ham on top with the cheese and roll it, however I did it this way and it seems to work out better. Next place your hopefully closed chicken breast in the bowl of egg if you cant get it all covered keep a barbecue brush handy, then cover well in the bowl of the dry ingredients. Once you have successfully completed this complicated and now probably messy kitchen. . . You can place the Cordon Bleu in a preheated oven at 350 for a half a hour. Take out and let cool. enjoy with cauliflower and broccoli. Bon Appetite!
