Easy Chicken Cordon Blue

Easy Chicken Cordon Blue

Ingredients:

• Chicken Breast sliced in half so they are thin
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 cups Italian bread crumbs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• Diced ham
• Mozzarella cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup of milk

Directions:

• Preheat oven 400 degrees and get a casserole dish and drizzle extra virgin olive oil at the bottom of pan so the chicken will not stick.
• Slice chicken so it is thinner
• Prepare wet and dry batter.  Wet batter-in a bowl crack one egg and add milk.  Dry batter- I guess about 2 cups of bread crumbs and 1 cup of parmesan cheese.  (Sorry I never measure I just eye ball it).
• Dip the chicken in the wet batter and then dip it the dry batter and place it in the pan.
• Do the same for the rest of the chicken and then drizzle a little more olive oil over the top of the chicken.
• Place chicken in oven.
• When the chicken is 5-10 minutes from being ready (my chicken took about 30 min. and the last 5-10 minutes was when I added the ham and cheese) sprinkle the diced ham over the chicken and then sprinkle the cheese.

Umbrella-The Itty-Bitty Bookworm

Umbrella Activity-

• Used the umbrella cut-out with the 3 on it.  I also had 3 raindrops that I cut out and we counted them together.  I labeled them 1, 2, and 3 so he would recognize the number. 
• I asked Caden what color the raindrops were and we also colored with the same color (blue).
• We discussed when we use umbrellas and if it helps us stay wet or dry.  

Rainboot- The Itty-Bitty Bookworm

Rainboot Activity-

• I had Caden use two different tools to paint his rainboot.  The first was a cu-tip and the second one was a sponge in the shape of a raindrop.  
• We pretended that we were splashing in a puddle (yellow paint) and that it got all over our boot.
