EASY BAKED CHICKEN CORDON BLEU (NUWAVE/FLAVORWAVE OVENS)
This is a fast and easy way to make dinner in your Nuwave/Flavorwave Oven. Made it tonight for my friends and have raves. Made up of "pre made" Garlic Mash potatoes and you have a great dinner in under 25 min (cooking time). 6-10 min to bread & roll them up. Note; You can defrost the chicken for 5 min on 1/2 power or 5 on Nuwave oven. I used defrosted chicken. Note: if your chicken is frozen you and defrost in your Nuwave oven/fFlavorwave oven. I have used 5-8 mins to defrost. Also, a quick way is to put your chicken breast into a full sized freezer bag prior to pouding it thinn. I hope this helps. Note: I use italian style bread crumbs, I also add some granulated garlic, salt & pepper, and some assiago cheese if I have some on hand. Enjoy!

Tips:
- To ensure that the chicken breast is evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. The juices should run clear, with no pink.
- For a crispier crust, brush the chicken breasts with melted butter before baking.
- If you don't have prosciutto, you can substitute it with thinly sliced ham.
- If you don't have Gruyère cheese, you can substitute it with Swiss cheese or mozzarella cheese.
- Serve the chicken cordon bleu with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
