Golden Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)

2 slices deli ham (3/4 ounce each)

2 slices Swiss cheese (3/4 ounce each)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon paprika

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1 large egg

2 tablespoons 2% milk

1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; top each with a slice of ham and cheese. Roll up and tuck in ends; secure with toothpicks.

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika and pepper. In another bowl, whisk egg and milk. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl. Dip chicken in flour mixture, then egg mixture; roll in crumbs.

In a small skillet, brown chicken in oil on all sides. Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° until a thermometer reads 170°, for 20-25 minutes. Discard toothpicks; drizzle with butter.
