Chicken Gruyere

This is a version of Chicken Cordon Blue that I made the other night to the satisfaction of everyone at the table..

What you need:

• 2-3 lbs boneless chicken, sliced thin, pounded into cutlets.
• 3/4 lb wedge of Gruyere Cheese
• 3/4 lb smoked Virginia Ham shaved thin
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
• Season Salt or Salt, Pepper to taste
• 2-3 cups Cornflake Crumbs **
  
• 1 Stick Butter melted
• Toothpicks
  

First get your chicken cleaned up and ready, take the time to get what my sis like to call "Noogies" (Fat,Gristle,Tendons} out of the meat. Put aside in dish and move to next step

Mix **Cornflake Crumbs and Parmesan cheese in large bowl, Add approx 1/2 tsp pepper and Tsp of salt or seasoned salt and mix ingredients well, put aside and proceed to next step.

Cut Gruyere Cheese into about 3"x 1/2" strips and put aside, get your ham out of package. It's time for the assembly line now.

Lay out cutlets flat, place a couple slices of ham and a strip of cheese on each cutlet and roll them up secure them by using 2 toothpicks so they wont unroll on you.

Now dredge rolled up cutlets in butter, then roll them through cornflake mix, Place in 9"x14" glass baking dish. Drizzle remaining butter over top of cutlets

Bake in pre-heated oven at 425 Degrees F. for 20-30 minutes...they cook fast so check one in 20 minutes so chicken doesn't get dry!!


** You can use bread crumbs or cracker crumbs but cornflake crumbs are the best !!
