Chicken Cordon Bleu

March 4, 2010 By Karen Ficarelli

Oh, so French, yet you can make it right in your own kitchen. This delightful dish makes 6 servings. If you have leftovers, be sure to save them properly so you can enjoy this fine entree for lunch or snack later in the week.

6 boneless skinless, chicken breasts
4 oz sliced fat-free Swiss cheese
3 oz lean smoked ham
1/4 cup flour
2 egg whites, beaten
1/3 cup dry unseasoned bread crumbs
Vegetable cooking spray (PAM)

Directions
1. Pound chicken breast with flat side of meat mallet, until very thin.
2. Layer cheese and ham on chicken, cutting to fit.
3. Roll up chicken and secure with toothpicks.
4. Coat chicken rolls lightly with flour, then dip in egg and coat in bread crumbs.
5. Spray rolls generously with cooking spray.
6. Cook in skillet over medium heat until browned on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes.
7. Bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 30 minutes or until cooked through.

Health Benefits
A great source of protein, chicken is low in fat, cholesterol and sodium. Choose lean ham, for the least about of fat, but try to keep your diet varied for interest. The ham adds a flavor sensation that the chicken alone just can’t provide. Portion control is key, but you can enjoy a guilt-free meal that includes flour and bread crumbs. When it comes to a lifestyle dedicated to women’s fitness, flavorful food is a mainstay.
