Chicken Cordon Bleu is a classic dish that combines tender chicken, savory ham, and gooey Swiss cheese. It's a perfect choice for a delicious and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. 4 slices Swiss cheese. 4 slices ham. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 1 cup breadcrumbs. 2 eggs, beaten. 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 190C 375F. Press the chicken breasts together with plastic wrap until they are 1/4-inch thick. Put a slice of cheese and a slice of ham on top of each chicken breast. Roll up each chicken breast tightly, and if you need to, use toothpicks to keep them together. Put flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs and put them in a different dish. Break up the breadcrumbs in a third dish. Mix the flour and salt together, then dip each chicken roll in beaten eggs. Finally, cover each roll with breadcrumbs. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. It takes about two minutes on each side to brown the chicken rolls. In a baking dish, put the chicken rolls. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Take out the toothpicks before serving.
