So a while back, I was wanting to make some chicken cordon bleu, but I didn't have any ham....what I did have was bacon. So, I made up this recipe. It's actually quite delicious :)
Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 pound bacon
1 cup grated guyere cheese (guyere is super pricey, so use a different cheese if you want to save money. Gruyere is like a fancy swiss cheese).
3 Tbs butter, melted
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
Cut back into small pieces and cook until just crispy. Cut the chicken breast in half (so they are the same size, but thinner)
Then pound them out until each half is about 1/4 - 1/3 of an inch thick.
Place bacon and cheese down the center of the chicken (like a taco). Roll the chicken up and use toothpicks to hold them in place. Don't worry if there are holes. Dip the chicken in melted butter, then roll it in the bread crumbs.
Put chicken in a baking dish and cook at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until chicken is done. I like to put a little cheese on the top at the end and put it back in the oven till it melts.
If you are on a diet, this meal probably isn't for you, but it's quite yummy. I served it with a sauce, but am trying to find a better one since my husband didn't like the sauce.
