Sacré bleu!
Oct. 12th, 2007 04:12 pmDecided to play around with Weight Watchers' recipe library this week. They've got quite a collection. I still like the recipes from Cooking Light best, but now they've merged their collection with several other publications including Southern Living. So now when you do a search, what comes up may not be "light" at all. Still good, mind you, but not at all what any sane human being would call low-fat. They had a recipe in there for mini-cupcakes, not the big ones, the MINI version, that were 350 calories EACH! For a mini!! God love Southern cooking. Sheesh.
Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingredients
Cooking spray
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, four 4-oz pieces
3 oz Smoked Ham, four 3/4 oz slices
3 oz low-fat Swiss cheese, four 3/4-oz slices
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup honey mustard (I used cranberry honey mustard - very good)
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs, Italian-style (I used Italian-style Panko, that worked too)
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.
