Chicken Cordon Bleu

I bought lots of chicken breast in costco recently, with the thought of eating healthy. I usually will get chicken thigh or chicken drumstick, because to me , dark meat usually is tastier and juicier but for the sake of " healthy diet", i just need to make some changes . This chicken cordon bleu doesn't disappoint. It is easy, does not need hours to marinate and is great!
