Chicken Cordon Bleu

Cordon Bleu means “blue ribbon” in French, and in French culinary tradition, the Cordon Bleu is awarded to food or chefs of particularly high quality. Neat huh? : ) I have never really even thought about eating chicken cordon bleu because I am not a huge ham fan. However, I saw this on a blog a week or so ago and thought I would give it a try since I know Tommy likes it. I wasn't so sure about it but I made sure to get really thin shaved ham so it wouldn't freak me out too much... : ) I served this with corn and salad.

Ingredients
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
6 slices Swiss cheese
4 slices cooked ham
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs


Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 7x11 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness.
3. Sprinkle each piece of chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 cheese slice and 1 ham slice on top of each breast. Roll up each breast, and secure with a toothpick. Place in baking dish, and sprinkle chicken evenly with bread crumbs.
4. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from oven, and place 1/2 cheese slice on top of each breast. Return to oven for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove toothpicks, and serve immediately.


Pig Rating: He said, "This is good!". I told him it makes me proud when I make something and he likes it so he said, "Then you should be proud of this!", so he must really like it. : )

Mrs. Pig Rating: Like I said, I was kind of worried about the ham, but it gave it a really good taste. I'm glad I tried this one - a new chicken recipe to add to our collection of "save to make again" : )

The day NCSX was going to begin taking reservations on the imported Japanese PSP system, I spent most of the day reloading their home page in anticipation of being one of the first to get my reservation in since most people knew the demand for the unit was going to be extremely high. world of warcraft goldwow power levelcheap wow goldwow power levelingwow powerlevelingbuy wow goldEverQuest 2 goldeq2 platI quickly got in my order when they began accepting them that afternoon and then had to patiently wait for the Japanese launch. The day the units arrived at NCSX, they broke the news that many of us already expected, that being that the cost of the PSP was going to be much higher due to their suppliers having trouble getting in enough units to meet the high demand for the units. This caused the already high price tag to jump dramatically. cheap ffxi gilffxi gilfinal fantasy gilMaple Story Mesosmaple story accountmaplestory MesosLOTRO Goldlord of the rings goldOf course that certainly didn't stop me from okaying the new price and having my system dispatched later that day.I had it shipped overnight via UPS and the next day I spent all day waiting for the UPS truck to arrive.

For those of you out there who haven't been following the upcoming Sega RPG "World of Destruction" here's a little rundown. tabula rasa creditstales of pirates goldvoyage century goldaoc goldaoc power levelingThe game is being developed by Image Epoch, creators of the Luminous Arc series of Nintendo DS strategy RPGs.EverQuest goldEverQuest platbuy eq goldsilkroad goldbuy silkroad goldeq plateverquest platinumlineage adenaBut there are also three key members from the original Xenogears development squad who are also involved including writer Masato Kato, character designer Kunihiko Tanaka, and musical composer Yasunori Mitsuda.

Falcom, famed RPG developer and creator of Gurumin, wow golddescribes their newest title as a "Drilling Action-RPG." While this is an accurate description of the game, a better one would be a platformer with a side order of action-rpg elements. At its core, Gurumin is a very playable 3-D platformer. You'll guide the main character Parin through the many levels by running, jumping, and using your legendary drill in order to traverse the many levels. wow goldAlong the way you'll be required to solve puzzles by moving and destroying objects and activating switches in each area. You'll also earn money in which you can purchase healing items as well as upgrade your drill in order to perform even stronger special moves. It's this careful mixture of platforming and rpg elements that make Gurumin such a unique experience.
