Chicken Cordon Bleu

We first had this dish when we went to our friends' house for dinner shortly before we moved. We absolutely loved it and so I, of course, asked for the recipe. It has been a favorite ever since that I sadly don't make often enough.
It's a great recipe because it's easy to change the quantity and it uses ingredients that we often have on hand. To halve the chicken breasts I typically slice them as you would cut a deck of cards. I find the ratio of chicken to ham and cheese is pretty good that way.
