Hi!

I'm Jenn and I blog over at Bliss to Bean.

I am a SAHW and am always in the kitchen!
I'm all about trying different recipes, 

from easy to complex.

When I'm making 3 meals a day, I need a few simple

recipes to keep in my back pocket.

Here's one of my husband's favorites:

Level: EASY

Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients:

3 slices of deli ham

3 slices of good quality Swiss cheese

3 organic chicken breasts

Panko breadcrumbs

salt/pepper

{You can adapt for however many pieces you need,

the organic chicken comes in the 3, so that's what I use}

Instructions:
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees

Cover a baking sheet with tinfoil for easy clean up

You'll need a mallet to pound the chicken out

and I use a ziploc bag to put the chicken in while I do so

{Put on a cutting board or towel, don't ruin your counter tops!}

Pound each breast until they're about 1/4 inch thick

Season with salt and pepper

Place the ham and cheese on chicken and roll up 

Secure with 2 or 3 toothpicks

Sprinkle Panko breadcrumbs on top for a crunch

and bake for 30-35 minutes

{cheese will ooze out}

You can add a little extra cheese and 

melt for 2 minutes when finished as well

I adapted the recipe from here

Serve with a salad and some crusty bread!

My husband says it tastes like lobster--not 

so sure about that, but it is quite tasty!
You can play around with the flavors; try a sweet honey ham or smoked ham

You could switch up the cheese for an earthier Gruyere or sweeter kind.

It's not hard to make healthy affordable meals, just build a good library of reliable recipes.

Let me know if you try it, I'd love to hear!
