Instructions

Chicken Cordon Bleu

  • Chicken Cordon Bleu: Preheat oven to 375. Flatten chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Top each breast with 1 slice ham and 1 slice cheese. Roll up. Secure with toothpicks. Dip each rolled chicken breast in egg white mixture, then dredge in breadcrumbs. Place in a baking dish. Bake at 375 for 25-35 minutes.

Spinach Salad

Candied Pecans

Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla. Spread on a parchment lined baking sheet, and allow to cool to room temperature.

Raspberry Vinaigrette
