Lazy Man Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is a very simple, quick meal to throw together.  The seasoned corn flakes and the ham give this chicken a very nice flavor.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Cut a pocket in each chicken breast.

4 slices of ham (about 1/2 oz. each) – I used 2 slices of Oscar Meyer DeliSelect Smoked Ham

Tuck ham into chicken.

1 cup corn flake crumbs

1 tsp. garlic granules

1 tsp. onion powder

Mix seasonings with corn flake crumbs.

4 T. milk 

Dip chicken in milk and then in crumbs. Sprinkle any leftover crumbs on top.

Line baking pan with foil and then spray with cooking spray. (This makes for an easy clean up.)

Place chicken in prepared pan.

Bake 35 – 40 minutes, depending on the plumpness of the chicken breast.

4 slices swiss or jack cheese

Top each breast with a slice of cheese and return to the oven for a minute or two until cheese is melted.
