CHICKEN CORDON BLEU 
1/2 whole chicken breast pounded flat
1 piece baked ham, 1 inch wide and as long as the chicken breast
2 tbsp. goat cheese, preferably fresh
Bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten with a little milk
Vegetable oil

Place the ham on top of the chicken breast. Place the goat cheese in the center and roll the breast around the ham and cheese from tip to tip. Roll the breast in bread crumbs, in the egg mixture, then again in bread crumbs. Place on a cookie sheet and allow to rest for approximately 10 minutes.

Saute in approximately 1/2 inch of oil (optional: mix a splash of olive oil with the vegetable oil) until golden brown. Remove and place on a baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and chopped dill. Bake in a preheated 300 degree oven for 1 hour if freshly made or at 350 degrees for 1 hour if frozen.

Cordon Blue Chicken with Spinach: Instead of ham, use spinach (frozen is ok).

Finally I found this recipe which was served at a dinner party I attended. I knew this was the cordon bleu I had been looking for because of the genius idea to use goat cheese - mmmmm! I do add the spinach on top of the ham (I use Prosciutto). For bread crumbs I use Panko for great crispness. Thank you so much for sharing this great recipe!
