Recipe Summary Healthier Chicken Cordon Bleu Ii
I love chicken cordon bleu. When I make this recipe I use lemon juice for wine and a half and half for the cream.Ingredients | Stuffed Chicken Healthy Chicken Breast Recipes
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 slices ham
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
6 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup fat free half-and-half
Directions
Pound chicken breasts to 1-inch thickness. Place a Swiss cheese and ham slice on each breast, within 1/2-inch of edge. Fold edges of chicken over filling and secure with toothpicks. Mix flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat chicken pieces.
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes each side. Add lemon juice and chicken bouillon. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, about 30 minutes.
Remove toothpicks and transfer breast to a warm platter. Blend cornstarch and half-and-half in a small bowl. Whisk slowly into skillet, cooking and stirring until thickened, about 3 minutes. Pour over chicken and serve warm.
