Chicken Cordon Bleu(Serving Size: 4. Preparation Time: 2:00) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 whole chicken breasts, boned and skinned
1/2 c. cooked ham, minced
1/2 c. Cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 c. all-purpose flour
salt
black pepper
1 egg
1 c. bread crumbs

Preparation

Cut each chicken breast in half; remove tendons.
One at a time, place breast halves between two sheets of waxed paper and pound flat.
Combine minced ham and grated cheese with hands.
Form into four rolls to fit in middle of a flattened breast half (about 3 inches long).
Place a roll on each breast half and fold breast half around it, beginning with one long side, then short sides, finishing with a long side, like an envelope.
Press edges together and roll each piece as it is finished in a sheet of waxed paper while you finish with other preparations.
Season flour with salt and pepper.
Beat egg lightly with 1 teaspoon water.
