"Chicken Cordon Bleu"

I put quotes around the title because I haven't really made real Chicken Cordon Bleu. This is just something I threw together that resembles it. Grant could not get enough of it tonight! Since it's not a real recipe, I'm just listing the way I made one serving so you can adjust according to how many servings you need.

Chicken Breast, pounded evenly
1 slice deli ham
1 slice Swiss cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
Italian bread crumbs
Garlic powder
Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper
1 TB butter, cut into small cubes

Preheat oven to 350. Place the chicken breast out on a cutting board. Layer with ham then cheese. Roll tightly, starting with the thicker end of the breast. Secure with a toothpick. Lay out 3 shallow dishes. Put the flour in the first dish. In the second dish, beat the eggs with a splash of water. Put the bread crumbs in the third. Season the bread crumbs with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Coat the rolled-up chicken in the flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Coat a second time in the egg then breadcrumbs (to make sure you get a thick breading). Place the breaded breast onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Top evenly with the butter cubes. Bake until cooked through, about 30 minutes.
