INSIDE-OUT CHICKEN CORDON BLUE
I like making the chicken this way because it seems much quicker and easier than the traditional way. I can get this on the table in no time. I usually serve this with garlic mashed potatoes and fried string beans.

Steps:
- Put the breadcrumbs, salt and pepper in a plastic bag and shake to blend.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Turn the chicken back over to the first side and place the ham evenly over the chicken pieces. Top each one with a slice of swiss (fold it to fit).
- Cover and cook until ham heats up and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place each chicken breast half between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to about 1/8 inch thickness. Place a finger of cheese on each ham slice and sprinkle lightly with thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Roll up seasoned ham and cheese 'jellyroll-style', then roll each chicken breast with ham and cheese inside. Tuck in ends and fasten with toothpicks.
- Place melted butter in a small bowl and place cereal crumbs in a shallow dish or bowl. Dip each chicken roll in butter or margarine, then roll in crumbs, turning to coat thoroughly. Place coated rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for about 40 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear. Serve with cordon bleu sauce, if desired.
- To Make Cordon Bleu Sauce: In a small saucepan mix together the soup, 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.

Tips:
- For a crispy chicken coating, make sure the chicken is dry before dredging it in flour.
- To prevent the cheese from leaking out, place a toothpick or skewer through the center of the chicken roll before baking.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or a heavy skillet to pound the chicken breasts flat.
- For a more flavorful cordon bleu, use a variety of cheeses, such as Swiss, cheddar, and mozzarella.
- Serve the cordon bleu with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
