Healthy Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is one of DBF's favorite meals from the box. You know those pre-made cordon bleu's in the freezer section? Sure they are yummy, and quick and easy to make, but have you looked at the nutritional value? So I did some research and took bits and pieces from other recipes and came up with this.

Healthy Chicken Cordon Bleu

Ingrediants:
3 slices Healthy Deli (99% fat free, reduced sodium) honey ham
3 thin cut, skinless chicken breast
3 slices provolone cheese
EVOO spray
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary to taste

Process:

1. Lay the chicken pieces flat.
2. Layer one slice of ham on top of each piece of chicken.
3. Layer one slice of provolone on top of the ham.
4. Roll the chicken carefully, starting from the smaller end.
5. When it's rolled as tight as possible, secure with a toothpick.
6. Spray a baking dish with EVOO and place chicken in it.
7. Spray the chicken liberally with EVOO.
8. Sprinkle on the seasonings to taste.
9. Bake in 425 degree over for approximately 15 minutes.

Notes:

• You could also use regular chicken breast, pounded thin. I just prefer to skip the pounding and buy the thin slices chicken. There's problably less calories this way as well.
• I didn't have any toothpicks in the house so I rolled them as tight as I could get them, then placed them in the pan seam side down. Thet stayed together pretty well.
• Do not overcook! Another reason to use the thin sliced chicken is that the chicken will cook faster, making it easier to avoid overcooking.
• I found using the thin slices chicken also made the perfect portion size! Not too big, not too small.
