Chicken Cordon Bleu

They say anyone who aspires to be able to cook anything in a kitchen should know how to make Chicken Cordon Bleu. I just attempted it finally for my first time, and I wish I would have done it years ago! It's soooooooooooo delicious!

Ingredients:

4 Chicken Breasts (thawed, best if fresh.)
1/2 pound thin sliced deli ham

1/2 pound Swiss cheese slices

2 cups of corn flakes
1 tbsp garlic powder

Salt & pepper

2 eggs
1/2 cup of milk

Toothpicks

A Hammer or Kitchen Mallet

Wax Paper or Seran Wrap

Directions:

First, preheat the oven to 375*.

Place a piece of wax paper over each breast. Beat with the mallet until each breast is thinned to about 1/2 an inch thick. Once you have a breast ready, lay a slice of ham and a slice of cheese over the top of the chicken breast, try to center them on the breast. Then take one end of the chicken breast and start rolling it towards the other end, with the ham and cheese rolling up inside it. Once you finish rolling it all the way, stick a toothpick through each side to hold the roll closed. Set it aside and continue doing the same to the other breasts. Once you have all of the rolls ready, you can make the coating.

Pour the corn flakes into a large mixing bowl, and with your hands or the mallet, smash them until they are as small as you can get them before they are powder, add the garlic powder and a pinch or two of salt and pepper to the mixture for taste. Then, in another mixing bowl, combine the eggs and milk.

Take each chicken roll and douse it in the egg/milk mix until it is completely covered. Let the excess liquid fall off and dip the roll in the corn flake mixture. Try to get as much of the chicken covered with the flakes as possible. Put the rolls on a cookie sheet as you go. Once they are all done and ready to bake, stick them in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is all white inside. If you have to, cut one open and make sure there is no pink areas. They are ready to serve :)
