Chicken Cordon Blue

By far one of my favorite meals to cook and eat.  YUMMY but don't be on a diet while eating this :)

Ingredients:

• Split Chicken Breast Pounded
• Swiss Cheese 
• Ham Lunch Meat
• Breading I like Ritz Crackers but I used crushed croutons this time
• Butter

Hollandaise Sauce:

• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1/2 Cup Flour
• 1 Can of Cream of Chicken Soup
• 1/2 Cup Sourcream
• 2 Cups Milk
• 3/4 lb Mixed Cheese
• Salt and Pepper
• Season to taste: Garlic, Cayenne, Season Salt, Onion Powder

2. Melt 1 stick of Butter
3. In saran wrap place each chicken breast separately and pound it about an 1/2 inch thick.
4. Roll the Cheese and Ham with the chicken
5. Dip Chicken in melted butter, then in crumbs.
6. Bake in oven for 40 minutes at 400.

Sauce:

1.  In a large sauce pan melt butter and blend flour to a smooth paste.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients together in the saucepan till bubbly and hot.
3. Pour over Chicken and Serve!

SIDES:

• Glazed Carrots
• White Rice
• Soft Rolls

(I usually serve this meal with mashed potatoes instead of the rice and as gravy I use the hollandaise sauce.  Dave prefers the mashed potatoes)

Glazed Carrots:

1. Place one bag of mini carrots in a large pot and boil till tender
2. Drain, add 1/2 stick of butter and 1/2 cup of brown sugar
3. Mix well and sprinkle some parsley on top

White Rice:
