Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients

8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (8 ounces each)
8 thin slices ham
8 slices Swiss cheese
2 eggs
1 cup milk (2%)
2 cups crushed cornflakes
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Top each with a slice of ham and cheese. Roll up and tuck in ends; secure with toothpicks.

In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs and milk. In another shallow bowl, combine cornflakes and seasonings. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then roll in crumbs.

Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Discard toothpicks before serving.
