It&#8217;s easy to make and I&#8217;m not going to France any time soon, so today it was made from scratch. Chicken breasts flattened, seasoned and laid with a slice of ham and a slice of cheese, rolled up and poached quickly with a help of a cling film, just to make sure they&#8217;ll hold their shape. Then the egg and breadcrumbs and straight onto the pan. I had to finish them in the oven, they were thick and not quite cooked inside, but after 5 minutes they cooked nicely to the very middle.<\/p>\n<p>I served them with one of the best dauphinoise potatoes ever, beautifully soft and creamy and a simple grated carrot salad, finished with a touch of cream, seasoned with salt, pepper, sugar and a touch of lemon juice.<\/p>\n<p>It was enjoyable, however next time I&#8217;ll make it flat, schnitzel like, which will make the cooking process shorter and, as Florek noticed, there will be more cheese oozing out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2013\/02\/DSC_3822.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-990\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2013\/02\/DSC_3822.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2013\/02\/DSC_3821.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-991\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2013\/02\/DSC_3821.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This evening I&#8217;ve made a chicken dish, that I bought ready made in France on two occasions.
