Chicken Cordon Blue Roll-Ups


Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoon coarse or Dijon mustard
  • sea salt and fresh black pepper
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 cup panko crumbs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 8 chicken cutlets, ¼-inch thick or you can use chicken tenders
  • 8 slices deli ham (sliced on the thick side)
  • 8 slices deli Swiss cheese (sliced on the thick side)
  • toothpicks
  • 1 can of cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup of sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a large roasting pan.
  2. Set up a dredging station by whisking the egg, milk and mustard together in a shallow dish, season with salt and pepper. In a second wide, shallow dish combine both bread crumbs and flour together.
  3. Season the chicken cutlets lightly on each side with salt and pepper. Place a slice each of Swiss cheese and ham (trim to fit the cutlet, if needed) over top and roll up beginning from the smallest end of the chicken. Secure with a toothpick or two. Repeat until they are all rolled up. Dredge one at a time by dipping into the egg and then into the bread crumbs using your hands to pat the crumbs on. Set in roasting pan and repeat until all are covered with crumbs.
  4. Bake about 25 minutes, depending on the thickness/size of your cutlets (internal temp should reach 164-175 degrees F). Remove from oven and allow to set 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks and cut into slices 1-2 inches thick, if desired or serve as is.
Serving size: 1 chicken roll-up

To Make Cordon Bleu Sauce: In a small saucepan mix together the 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 1/2 cup of sour cream and lemon juice. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, and serve hot over chicken rolls. Makes about 2 cups; 8 servings of 1/4 cup each.

Father's Day Hot Fudge Sauce

This was the easiest recipe. Just three ingredients. It is very thick. The taste will almost completely depend upon what type of chocolate you use. We served this as a drizzle over brownie bites with strawberries, and vanilla yogurt. It is very rich.

Ingredients:
1. 1/2 cup (1 stick of butter)
2. 1 cup of chocolate chips
3. 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14 oz)

Melt the butter in a sauce pan. Add in chocolate chips, constantly stirring until melted, and finally add in the sweetened condensed milk. Stir over low to medium heat until all combined. Serve immediately. Store extra in the refrigerator. It will revert to a thicker, more hardened substance until you heat it up again.
