Chicken Cordon Bleu

Salt and pepper to taste

8 thin slices of ham

16 thin slices Gruyere or Swiss cheese

2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup flour

1 cup panko  bread crumbs

1 teaspoon olive oil

2 eggs

2 teaspoons water

Preheat the oven to 375F.

2 pieces of plastic wrap. With a mallet, pound on the meat until its thickness is reduced to

1/4 of its original. Do not pound too hard because we do not want to destroy the fillets and have some holes in it.

2 slices of ham and 2 slices of cheese on each fillet and roll them up. Squeeze it gently to seal the rolls or place a toothpick to seal it if needed. Repeat the process for all the fillets.

In a small bowl, combine the oil, parsley and bread crumbs. Season it with salt and pepper.

Beat the eggs and water in a separate bowl.

Place the flour on a plate and season it with salt and pepper.

20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes. Slice the rolls in half or in pinwheels before serving. Serve warm with vegetables, potatoes or rice.
