Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is one of my son, Anthony’s favorite food.  He used to ask me to make it for him all the time.  I got this out of the Lion House  Recipes, cookbook.  I have made this for Relief society dinners, birthday dinners and Sunday dinners.  It takes a little bit of time, but is delicious.
