Pesto Cordon Bleu

Yield: 2 servings (3 chicken rolls each)

Ingredients:

3 Chicken Breasts or 6 tenders
6 slices Deli Ham
6 slices Bacon
6 tsp Prepared Pesto
~4 oz Swiss Cheese

Directions:

Cut chicken breasts into two strips or leave tenders whole. Pound the chicken with a mallet until it is 1/4 inch thick. Spread Pesto on one side of each chicken strip. Place a piece of ham on top of the pesto. Place one layer of sliced swiss cheese on top of the ham. Roll the chicken. Then roll a piece of bacon around each rolled chicken and secure with toothpicks. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 30 - 35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

Verdict:

This dish is really tasty! It's a nice spin on traditional chicken cordon bleu. I usually serve it with mashed potatoes or baked sweet potatoes and a green veggie.
