Instructions:

Assemble the Cordon Bleu:

Bread the Chicken:
- Dredge each rolled chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs.
- Roll the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Fry the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place each breaded chicken breast in the hot oil and cook until golden brown on all sides.

Bake in the Oven:
- Transfer the browned chicken to a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
