Chicken Cordon Bleu
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes (or less)
Makes: 4 servings
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 slices prosciutto or cooked ham
4 slices Swiss cheese (3 ounces)
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1. Place a chicken breast half between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound meat lightly into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining chicken.
2. Place a slice of prosciutto/ham and a slice of cheese on each chicken piece. Fold in the bottom and sides; roll up and secure with a wooden toothpick.
3. In a 10-inch skillet, cook rolls in hot butter over medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes or until no longer pink (170 degrees F), turning to brown evenly. To serve, remove toothpicks.
When I did this, I found that after a while I could remove toothpicks and the chicken held together. This made it easier to cook.
