It is not too hard to make your own cordon blue instead of buying the ready made, thickly breaded cordon bleues in the shop. These turned out rather fat, but they were very delicious. I used one chicken breast for each; I cut it open with a sharp knife, not cutting it all the way through. Hammer with a meat pounder (use some plastic foil to keep it clean) until more flat and season with salt and pepper on the inside. In each breast, put one slice of prociutto (I used katenspek) and one slice of cheese. I bought processed cheese, reminding me of the Kraft cheese we always bought in China. Speaking of China, I am going there for the next week and I expect to eat LOTS of great food. I take my laptop along, so come back regularly to check out what things I had to eat! By the way, fry those chicken breasts in oil until done, melted cheese, and eat with grilled potatoes and a green bean salad.
