| Moist, tender chicken wrapped around smoked ham and gooey Swiss cheese — what could be better? Our version is delicious and healthy! |
Ingredients
|
|
|
4 spray(s) cooking spray, or enough to coat chicken
|
|
1 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces
|
|
|
3 oz Boar's Head Smoked Ham, or other brand, four 3/4 oz slices
|
|
|
3 oz low-fat Swiss cheese, four 3/4-oz slices
|
|
|
1/4 cup(s) all-purpose flour
|
|
|
1/4 cup(s) honey mustard
|
|
|
1/2 cup(s) seasoned bread crumbs, Italian-style
|
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray.
- Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness; remove plastic wrap. Arrange 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheese on each chicken breast.
- Starting from shorter end of chicken, roll up breast into a tight pinwheel. Tuck in ends. Secure with toothpicks.
- Place flour, honey mustard and bread crumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Add chicken to flour; turn to coat. Transfer chicken to honey mustard; turn to coat. Place chicken in bread crumbs; turn to coat.
- Transfer chicken to prepared baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Bake until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 40 minutes. Remove toothpicks and serve.
Chef Tips- We renovated Chicken Cordon Bleu by:
- Using reduced-fat cheese instead of a full-fat variety — and cutting back on the amount.
- Baking the chicken breasts instead of deep-frying them.
