Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 6 ounces of softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp paprika you can do chili powder, supposedly, if you like it spicy
  • 1/4 cup diced ham I just chop up some lunch meat
  • Flour
  • 2 eggs
  • Breadcrumbs preferably seasoned. Or just sprinkle in some salt and pepper and various herbs.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Pound each of the chicken breasts with a rolling pin until they are flat and even. Mix the cream cheese, ham, and paprika in a bowl. Scoop 1/4 of the mix into the center of each chicken breast and wrap the chicken around the cream cheese (try not to drool with the deliciousness).
  3. Get three plates (small, probably) and put about 1/2 a cup of flour on the first, 2 beaten eggs on the second one, and 1 cup or so of breadcrumbs on the third. Roll each of the chicken lumps (er, bleus) in the flour first, then the eggs, then the breadcrumbs. Then stick them in a greased casserole dish and cook them up for about 25 minutes (or you know, until they don't look pink and filled with delicious salmonella).
  4. And eat. And eat. And eat. Until you die.
