Chicken Cordon Bleu

🧂 Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts

  boneless and skinless
• 4 thin slices Swiss cheese
• 4 thin slices ham
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• 2 Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to about ¼ inch thickness.
• 3 Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll
  the chicken up, starting from one end and tucking in the sides as you go. Secure
  each roll with toothpicks.
• 4 In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In
  another dish, beat the eggs. Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
• 5 Dredge each chicken roll in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs, and
  finally roll in the breadcrumbs.
• 6 Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken rolls and cook
  until they're browned on all sides.
• 7 Transfer the browned chicken rolls to a baking dish. Bake for about 20 minutes,
  or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
• 8 Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then remove the toothpicks before
  serving.
