Chicken Cordon Bleu

This meal is easy and super delicious. I got the recipe from my amazing and talented sister in-law Emily. It has become a family favorite around our table.

Ingredients:
2 breasts of Chicken
4 slices of Ham
4 slices of Mozzarella Cheese
1 Cup Flour
1/2 tbsp of Seasonal Salt
Ground Pepper to taste
1 egg
1/4 cup of milk

Directions:
Cut breasts of chicken in half short ways (now you have four servings of chicken).  Then take each half breast and slice it down the middle (like you would a cut a roll in half) without going all the way through.  Open them and put a slice of ham and a slice of cheese inside, make sure you cut the ham and cheese to size.  Then close, and set aside.
In a mixing bowl add one egg and 1/4 c. milk.  Whisk until well combined.  In another bowl mix: flour, seasonal salt, and pepper.  Then take each stuffed piece of chicken and gently put it into the egg mixture until wet.  Then place it into the flour mixture and spoon the ingredients over the top.  When completely covered set the chicken aside on a plate.  Ready your skillet by adding a tbsp of oil and setting the oven to medium heat.  Then place the chicken into the skillet and cook until golden brown.  Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before removing from heat. Enjoy!

(Copy Cat) Magleby's Buttermilk Syrup

My family loves this syrup. We use it on buttermilk pancakes, of buttermilk waffles or french toast. It is super easy to make at stores really well. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1/2 - 3/4 cup Butter
1 cup Buttermilk
2 cups Sugar
2 tbsp Light Corn Syrup
1 tbsp Baking Soda
1/2 tbsp vanilla

Directions:

In large pan, combine butter, buttermilk, sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Next, add baking soda and vanilla. Syrup will begin to bubble up and foam. Stir until syrup settles. Store in fridge in air tight container. Warm in pan before serving, allowing for the bubble up factor.
