Mock Chicken Cordon Bleu
(from mlaplant’s recipe box)
Chicken tenders work well with this. You can always use more cheese and ham (cover layer completely). Do not skip the step of grinding fresh breadcrumbs (1 loaf sourdough), this is what really makes the difference with this recipe! Also, if you like honey mustard, you can spread a thin layer of your favorite mustard on top of the ham layer for some extra zing.
