This is a variation of the classic entrée Chicken Cordon Bleu. I have been making this at my work for so long I could do it with my eyes closed; but it can be easily messed up so be prepared. It's surprisingly pretty cheap and easy if you keep a well stocked fridge. Most of the ingredients can already be found in a typical fridge. The only complicated part of this recipe is that you need a meat tenderizer, basically a mallet for food. If you are careful and you do it right, this is one recipe that can take your cooking level from rookie to all-pro. Ingredients:
1.5-2lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
2 tbsp. Italian Seasoning (Garlic, Salt, Basil, Rosemary...)
6 slices Swiss cheese
3 slices deli lunch meat (traditional uses ham)
2-3 cups bread crumbs
2 cups parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Savings: 10-25$ (More savings if you already have most of the ingredients on hand)
