Chicken Cordon Bleu and Sauce

Homemade Chicken Cordon Bleu for dinner tonight - 

tastes great and isn't as hard to make as I always thought. 

This tastes great with a side of rice and salad or even potatoes!

ingredients:
6 Boneless Chicken Breasts
6 Thin Slices of Ham
6 Slices of Swiss Cheese (size of the Ham)
1/4 cup Melted Butter
1/2 cup Cornflakes
Salt and Pepper

directions:
Place your chicken pieces between sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thick. Place a piece of cheese on each slice of ham. Roll the ham and cheese and place them in the center of the chicken breast. Tuck in the ends and wrap the chicken around the ham. Fasten the edges with toothpicks. Dip the chicken in the melted butter and then roll them in the Cornflake crumbs.

Place your chicken in a greased baking dish. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until the chicken is browned. Serve with the Cordon Bleu Sauce.

*Note: You can do as many chicken breasts as you need or as little as you need, just remember to have all the ingredients for as much as you are making. If you don't have Cornflakes; bread crumbs work too. Also, a rolling pin works fine to smash your meat, but a meat mallet is the way to go to get your meat that thin.
