I wanted to come up with a pasta dish that would catch the judges eyes and taste buds and I know this recipe will do just that. It is fancy enough to be served at a dinner party, but easy enough for an everyday meal too. I hope you like this recipe as much as my husband did as he gave it a big 10!

Chicken cordon bleu is one of my grandson's favorite dishes and he loved this recipe.  The bechamel sauce adds a great creaminess. Make this for your next dinner party and your guests will be very impressed!

  • 1

  • 3
    Pound chicken thinly and season with an Italian seasoning blend.
  • 4
    Place a slice of ham and fold up a slice of Swiss to encase it, like an tube with the ends closed.
  • 5
    Next take the unseasoned side of your thinly slicked chicken breast and place the rolled ham tube in the middle. Roll chicken up tightly to encase the ham and cheese tubes and use a toothpicks, if desired, to keep ends closed. Roll into the pasta sheet tightly around chicken. Continue on until you have all 8 rolls completed.
