They were good I seasoned my own bread crumbs so maybe that is the reson I did not care for the spice I used. Also I would suggest more ham.

Great classic cordon bleu recipe! I made it as written, only I couldn't get the chicken flattened all the way to 1/4", so it took a little bit longer to cook. Still it was delicious!

This is simple and elegant. Instead of swiss cheese, try pepper jack and plain bread crumbs for a tasty change of pace.

I have a recipe identical to this one from an old Microwave cookbook. I've cooked it in the Microwave as well as the oven. Before rolling into rolls add a little chopped tomato and sprinkle with a little sage and basil.
