• Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness.
• Sprinkle each piece of chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 cheese slice and 1 ham slice on top of each breast. Roll up each breast, and secure with a toothpick. Place in baking dish, and sprinkle chicken evenly with bread crumbs.

Steps:

• Use a sharp knife to slice a chicken breast horizontally, starting at the thickest part and cutting almost to the other side (do not cut all the way through) until, when opened, breast lies flat. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound to an even 1/4 inch thick. Remove top layer of plastic; season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining chicken. Layer 1 1/2 ounces each of cheese and ham over surface of a breast; fold in half to enclose filling. Repeat with remaining chicken, cheese, and ham.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place flour in a shallow dish; season with salt and pepper. Beat eggs with 2 tablespoons water in another dish; season with salt and pepper. Place panko in a third dish; season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium. Meanwhile, dredge a breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, turning to evenly coat. Dredge in panko, pressing gently to adhere. Transfer to a plate; repeat with remaining chicken. Add half the chicken to skillet and cook, turning once halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and golden brown, and cheese is melted, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet to drain. Keep warm in oven. Cook remaining chicken with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Combine egg and milk in small bowl and place breadcrumbs on plate.
• Dip chicken into egg/milk mixture then coat one side with breadcrumb mixture and place breadcrumb side down in 13 X 9 glass baking dish.
• After all pieces are in baking dish place cheese then ham on each piece of chicken. (I usually tear the slice of cheese in half so that when I put it on the chicken it covers the whole thing - any remaining cheese or ham I just divide between the chicken).
• Roll chicken making sure to keep cheese and ham tucked inside and place crease side down in dish.
• Top with remaining breadcrumbs.
• Bake for 35 minutes until juices run clear.

CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lay the chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove the top sheet of plastic and lay 2 slices of prosciutto neatly over the top to cover the breast and sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the prosciutto. Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll inside the plastic wrap. Squeeze the log gently to seal and twist both ends tight to form a nice log. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Season the flour with salt and pepper. Mix the bread crumbs with thyme, garlic and kosher salt, pepper, and melted butter. The butter will help the crust brown. Beat together the eggs and season so the flour, the eggs and the crumbs are all seasoned.
• Remove the plastic wrap. Lightly dust the chicken with flour, dip in the egg mixture and gently coat in the bread crumbs. Lightly coat a baking pan with olive oil and carefully transfer the roulades onto it. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until browned and cooked through.
• Cut into pinwheels and serve on top of Brussels Sprout Hash with Chicken Jus and Cranberry Chutney, if desired.
