Chicken Cordon Bleu

 Chicken cordon bleu

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

¼ teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

6 slices Swiss cheese

4 slices cooked ham

½ cup seasoned bread crumbs

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 7x11 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Pound chicken breasts to ¼ 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 a baking dish, and sprinkle chicken evenly with breadcrumbs.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink. Remove from the oven, and place ½ cheese slice on top of each breast. Return to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Remove toothpicks, and serve immediately.
