National Chicken Cordon Bleu day

4 chicken breasts - pounded flat

4 slices swiss cheese

8 slices ham or proscuitto

1 cup flour (can reduce this a bit)

1 tsp paprika

2 eggs

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 cup panko bread crumbs

1 Tbsp herbs (we used some bells seasoning, parsley, oregano)

salt and pepper

Lay out one of the flattened chicken breasts. On the chicken lay 2 slices of ham and one slice of cheese. Roll up the chicken and use toothpicks or skewers to secure.

In a bowl mix together the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Beat the eggs with 2 Tbsp of water, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix herbs with the bread crumbs in another bowl. Roll the chicken in the flour mixture. Then dip the chicken in the egg mixture, then roll in the bread crumbs.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the chicken in a baking pan or on a cookie sheet. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown and the juices run clear.
