Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll Ups

chicken-cordon-bleu-2The weather has been so dreary – I miss the sun! I think we have had rain 5 or 6 days straight.

I had intended to do some chicken kabobs but since the weather wasn’t cooperating, I had to come up with another plan. I looked in my refrigerator and had a pack of Hillshire Farms Ham and Sargento Swiss Cheese that we’d been eating for lunch throughout the week. I decided to pair the sandwich fixings with my chicken and whip up some Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll Ups.

My guys all love this recipe and while it may have the appearance of being difficult, it is actually very simple to put together. You flatten chicken, top with ham and cheese then roll it up. A dunk into an egg wash and then a few breadcrumbs and you have dinner after a few minutes of baking in the oven.

My boys like their chicken without any sauce but my husband and I like the addition of the honey dijon cream sauce. The sauce adds another dimension of flavor and really kicks this up a bit. This would be a great recipe for a Tuesday night with the kids or as option when you have dinner guests. The presentation is fun and the taste is great.

Give these Chicken Cordon Bleu Roll Ups a try and let me know what you think.
