HG's Stuffed Chick Cordon Bleu

By popular request, I am posting a recipe for light chicken cordon bleu that I found on the Hungry Girl website. It is a favorite in my family and makes a great (easy) dinner that tastes fantastic.

HG's Stuffed Chick Cordon Bleu

Ingredients:

One 5-oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlet

1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese

1 oz. (about 3 slices) 97 - 98% fat-free ham slices

salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


• Put chicken in a large sealable plastic bag, squeeze out as much air as you can, and seal. Using a meat tenderizer or a can, carefully pound chicken through the bag until it is about 1/4-inch thick.


• Remove chicken from the bag, and season to taste with salt and pepper on both sides.


• Lay the chicken flat and spread the cheese wedge over it.


• Evenly layer the ham slices on top of the cheese.


• Starting with one of the longer sides (or any side, if it's square), tightly roll up the chicken breast cutlet, and secure with toothpicks.


• Place chicken roll in a baking dish lined with foil and/or sprayed with nonstick spray, and then cover the baking dish with foil.


• Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.


• Carefully remove the foil covering the dish. Continue to bake (uncovered) for an additional 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
