Chicken Cordon Bleu (my version)





This dish was quick, easy, and made the house smell delicious. Oh, and it tasted good. :)



Ingredients:
*Four chicken breasts, cut in half to make 8 thin breasts (or you can pound the four breasts flat, but that takes work)
*salt and pepper
*Canadian bacon (one slice per chicken breast)
*One fresh mozzarella ball, sliced
*1 T butter
*1 cup panko bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease a glass baking dish.

Grind salt and pepper lightly on each side of each chicken breast.

Place a slice of Canadian bacon on each breast, then top with a slice of mozzarella.

Fold the breast in half, then secure with a toothpick.

Place a small amount of butter on the top of each breast, then place baking dish in oven for 2-3 minutes, or until butter is completely melted.

Remove dish from oven, sprinkle panko crumbs over the chicken, the place back in the oven for 35-40 minutes.

Check to make sure chicken is no longer pink, and serve immediately.

I served it with brown rice and a summer salad. (Mostly) healthy and simple! :)
