I like cordon bleu, but sometimes can be too heavy. So, I adapted and overcame. It has become a household favorite....

How To Make light-er chicken cordon bleu

Step 1

Turn on oven to 375 degrees. Spray a small roasting pan with Pam (or other cooking spray).

Step 2

Slice chicken breast lengthwise to make a deep pocket (almost in 1/2). Unfold and layer ham and cheese inside pocket of chicken. Fold chicken to cover ham & cheese. Place filled chicken breasts into roasting pan. Sprinkle top with Italian bread crumbs. Spray with cooking spray.
Step 3

Bake uncovered for 45 min. to an hour (depending on size of chicken breast) until cooked through. Serve with vegetable & garlic bread. Yummy and not over the top in calories!! Note: Can add spinach and/or mushrooms as stuffing to make the chicken yummier, and still be healthy!!
