Out of the Blue Chicken Cordon Bleu

Out of the blue (no pun intended) I was craving this. I scrounged around in the fridge and was able to find all the ingredients that I needed without having to run out to the market. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • 4 chicken cutlets, pounded thin
  • 4 wedges of Laughing Cow Swiss Cheese (I use the low fat version)
  • 4 slices of thin sliced ham (I used the ham we make our sandwiches with)
  • 2 Tbsp of canola oil
  • Flour for dredging
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • You'll need toothpicks to secure the chicken rolls

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spread each cutlet with a wedge of cheese. Top with a slice of ham. Roll each cutlet up lengthwise and secure with two toothpicks. Heat oil in a large skillet. Season flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each roll in the flour. Once the oil is hot, place the rolls in the skillet. Brown each side (about 5 minutes a side). Remove from oil and place in an oven safe dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes. (Always use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. You're looking for a temperature around 145-150.) Remove and serve immediately.
