Rosemary, Swiss and Canadian Back Bacon Chicken Cordon Bleu

Chicken Cordon Bleu sounds fancy right? Well, its pretty easy! Follow these 10 steps to deliciousness to behold the savoury creamy and crunchy goodness. While its baking you can whip up a green salad and simple pasta dish, then you have gorgeous meal in under an hour.

Ingredients:

2 Chicken Breasts, lightly pounded to 3/4"
4 slices of Canadian Back Bacon
4 thick slices of Swiss Cheese
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup italian seasoned bread crumbs (I put salt, pepper, oregano, finely chopped fresh rosemary and basil)
4-6 sprigs of fresh Rosemary, finely chopped
2 eggs, whisked
toothpicks (not to eat!)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Set up your breading stations with the 3/4 cup flour in one dish, the seasoned bread crumbs in another dish, and the 2 eggs whisked in another dish.
3. Pound out your chicken breasts gently to 3/4" using a meat tenderizer (the flat side). A wine bottle works too! Make sure you don't make some ares too thin.
4. Set out your toothpicks.
5. Place 2 slices of the Back Bacon and Swiss Cheese in each chicken breast, spreading it out. Sprinkle a bit of chopped rosemary on top of the bacon and cheese in a whimsical-like fashion, or you can do it like BAM!
6. Roll the chicken like a carpet and pin the edges together with as many toothpicks as you think necessary. Ours kind of looked like a porcupine.
7. Gently roll the chicken rolls in flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs.
8. Place them a pyrex or oven proof dish with either a silicone non sticky thingy or you should grease it.
9. Bake in oven for 35-40 minutes. You will know when it is close to done when the Swiss Cheese starts to ooze and bubble out of the chicken.
10. Then eat it!!!!!
