The ingredients for Chicken Cordon Blu are:

1-lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breast
lowfat, sugar-free sliced ham (1 slice per intended roll)
lowfat Swiss cheese (1 slice per intended roll)
1 cup parmesean cheese
1 tsp. each: Italian herbs, granulated garlic or garlic powder
1/2 tsp. each: cayenne pepper, salt & ground black pepper
1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 egg white
2 tbsp.heavy cream

Here is how you make Chicken Cordon Blu:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove all remaining fat from chicken breasts and pat dry with a paper towel; slice each breast in half so that you have roughly 6 fillets of breast; put a fillet into a large zip-style plastic bag and lightly pound with a meat hammer until evenly flat - about 1/4 inch thick. Lay flattened fillets onto a plate. In a deep dish, pie plate or bowl, combine the parmesean cheese, herbs and seasonings. In another deep dish,pie plate or bowl, whip the egg white and heavy cream until smooth. Take a slice of swiss cheese and lay it on top of a flattened chicken fillet; lay a slice of ham on top of that. Roll the fillet so that the ham and cheese are inside the roll. Holding the roll together firmly, roll it first in the egg mixture, then the cheese mixture. Place onto a cooking sheet that you've sprayed with Pam; repeat until you have all the fillets rolled, dipped and cheesed. Place sheet into oven, turn heat down to 350 degrees and bake for 30 minutes or until the outer layer is lightly browned and internal temperature is 180 degrees. Note: this is great hot, but saved for the next day it is wonderful sliced into medalions on top of a crispy salad. Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JERSEYKELLEY.
