Easy Oven-Baked Chicken Cordon Bleu
This version is easy since it uses the chicken cutlets which are much thinner than the whole breast - thus no pounding - and the ingredients are layered instead of rolled. It all came together accidentally tonight when I realized the cutlets were too small to roll. My family loved it...I hope you will too!
