How To Make chicken cordon bleu

Step 1

Saute shallots in 3 tbsps butter for 5 mins. Pour in the wine and stir in 2 tbsps bread crumbs. Remove from heat. Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of wax paper and pound to flatten.Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread shallot mixture evenly on chicken pieces. Top each chicken piece with a slice of cheese and ham.Roll up chicken and secure with a toothpick.

Step 2

Melt the 5 remaining tablespoons of butter and blend with lemon juice. Roll chicken in butter and lemon and dredge in bread crumbs. Place in a buttered dish and bake at 350 for 35 - 40 mins I serve this with a salad and tasty rice.
