Chicken is rolled and stuffed with ham and cheese. This is the best chicken cordon bleu recipe! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
Ingredients
- 8 skinless , boneless chicken breasts
- 8 slices cooked ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese , cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and pepper to taste
- 0.25 cups melted butter

Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Make the chicken rolls: Place each chicken breast half between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Place a piece of cheese on each ham slice and sprinkle lightly with thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Roll up seasoned ham and cheese jellyroll-style, then roll each chicken breast with ham and cheese inside. Tuck in ends and fasten with toothpicks.

Place melted butter in a small bowl and place cereal crumbs in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip each chicken roll in butter, then roll in crumbs, turning to coat thoroughly. Place coated rolls in the prepared baking dish.

Five Ingredient Ice Cream
Five simple ice cream ingredients are all you need to make a fabulous frozen dessert! Before freezing, you can also add crushed sandwich cookies, nuts, chocolate chips, coconut, or other favorites.
Skillet Strawberry Shortcake
This fuss-free strawberry shortcake made in a pan eliminates much of the hassle and mess of traditional strawberry shortcakes. Instead of flouring the counter and rolling and cutting out individual shortcakes, you'll bake one giant skillet biscuit-like cake that's topped with macerated strawberries and whipped cream. Perfect for celebrating the arrival of warmer, sunnier days.
Black-Eyed Pea Patties
Black-eyed pea patties made with bacon, shallots, and roasted red peppers are pan-fried until golden brown and crispy. This recipe calls for canned peas, but for more flavor, I sometimes use leftover peas that I cooked with ham hocks or smoked turkey from New Year's. Get creative with how you serve them; sometimes I top them with fried green tomatoes or leftover candied yams.
