In a small bowl place the eggs and the milk. Beat them together.
Dip the stuffed chicken breasts in the flour and then in the egg batter.
Roll them in the cornmeal.
In a large heavy skillet place the vegetable oil and heat it until it is hot. Add the chicken breasts and saute them on both sides until they are golden brown.
