Today i want to share with you a great Recipe: Chicken Cordon Bleu, to make this great recipe you need the following:
Ingredients:
- cooking spray
- 12 thin sliced (36 oz total) skinless boneless chicken breasts, 3 oz each
- salt and fresh cracked pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450F. Lightly mist a large non-stick baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Wash chicken breasts thoroughly in running water and dry in paper towels. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle chicken generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Lay chicken on a work surface and neatly place a slice of ham over the top of chicken followed by the cheese. Tuck in the side of the breast and roll up tight with its seam side down. Set aside.
