Chicken Cordon Bleu

This recipe was SO Yummy!!

3 Chicken Breast (I used two big ones)
Thinly Sliced Ham (I used lunch meat)
Swiss Cheese (I used provolone)
8 oz Cream Cheese (I use low fat)
2 1/2 cups hot water (or you can use chicken broth)
3 Tbsp. granulated chicken bouillon (if using broth omit this)
1/2 cup cooking wine (or 1/2 cup chicken broth)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
6 Tbsp. butter
3 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs (I crushed up a sleeve of Ritz crackers which make 1 1/2 cup and then used 1 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
toothpicks

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice chicken breasts in half, down the middle. Then cut each breast in half again-thick part. It made 8 pieces.

Between two sheet of wax paper or a Ziploc bag tenderize the pieces on both sides with a meat mallet.

Lay the chicken flat, place a piece of meat, then cheese. (On the longer pieces of chicken I used two pieces of meat and cheese to fit the length of the chicken.)

Roll up the chicken and put a toothpick through the middle to hold everything in place.

Put your chicken rolls in a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle rolls with salt and pepper.

In blender combine; cream cheese, cooking wine, water and bouillon. Puree and pour over chicken rolls.

Toss bread crumbs in butter and pour over the top of chicken and sauce.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45-55 minutes. (Mine only took 45mins)

( ) is the way I made it. I changed it up quite a bit..I am not very good at following a recipe..opps!
