A few weeks after Beau and I began dating I made the mistake of cooking chicken cordon bleu. It turned out great but it was crazy difficult (you know, 30 ingredients.) Since I was madly in love I figured I could seal the deal if I proved myself as a great cook. As planned, he loved it and the rest is history.
Since the deal has been sealed for almost three years of wedded bliss, I am no longer looking to impress with anything over eight ingredients. It also has something to do with the fact that after working all day I'm really not looking to spend two hours in the kitchen cooking and another hour cleaning. So I'm sure you can imagine my dismay when my husband requested chicken cordon bleu for dinner this week.
Note to self: Never ask him want he wants me to cook for dinner ever again....unless it's his birthday...in a year that ends in an odd number...and only if the current President is a member of the Green Party.
To my relief and to Beau's unknowing I discovered a super easy recipe for the dish.
Take your chicken breasts, coat them in SHAKE N' BAKE (no, seriously), place a few slices of ham and swiss cheese on the breasts, roll them up and secure with a tooth pick. Bake on 350 degrees for about 30 minutes and you're done!!!!
I realize that this is a horrible picture taken from my dang Blackberry but I needed a visual to go with the recipe. Although the chicken in the picture looks disgusting, in actuality it looked good and tasted even better.
I'm sure if Paula Dean is reading this (and why would she?) she is judging me.
