Pinterest Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe

You've probably seen this Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe on pinterest and I hope you pinned it because let me just say heavenly deliciousness!! This was really easy to make and all my family loved it.  Here's the recipe below, where I got it from, and what I did different.
This is the what I did for my family of 7, the original recipe can be found here.

• 4 chicken breasts cut into manageable sizes (for my kids- about 3 inches)
• 6 slices of ham lunch mean, cut up
• 1 package  of sliced Swiss cheese

Layer the chicken, ham and cheese into your 9x13 pan.

Next make the sauce-

• 4 Tablespoons Butter
• 4 Tablespoons Flour
• 3-¼ cups Milk 
• 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
• 1 Tablespoon Mustard (it called for Dijon but I just used regular)
• 1-½ teaspoon Salt

Mix together in a sauce pan until butter is melted and it starts to thicken.  Pour over chicken in pan.

For the topping I just did dry bread crumbs and parsley.  But it turned out a little too dry and messy so I think next time I will follow the recipe and mix the following together before sprinkling them on top:

• 6 Tablespoons Butter
• 1-½ cup Bread Crumbs
• ¾ teaspoons Seasoning Salt
• 1-½ teaspoon Crushed Dried Parsley

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes.  My chicken was still slightly frozen so I baked it for about 50 minutes and it was perfect!
