Quick Chicken Cordon Bleu
This quick and easy cordon bleu keeps the flavors the same, but skips the fussy layering and breading steps.
Ingredients
Directions
- Pre-heat oven to 400° F (200° C).
- Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and salt. Combine cheese and cream cheese in a bowl.
- Combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper with breadcrumbs, parsley (or thyme) and 2 teaspoons olive oil in another bowl.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large, ovenproof non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the chicken until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Move the chicken to the center so all pieces are touching.
- Spread with the cheese mixture, sprinkle with ham, then top with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer registers 165° F (75° C), 5 to 7 minutes.
- Note: serve with delicata squash and broccoli.

This was very good and did not take long to make. The pieces of chicken I used were thick and I had to bake it for about 20-25 minutes to get the chicken to cook through. Next time I will cut the chicken thinner. I had this with mixed veggies, although I bet it would be even better with asparagus. I am on the WW PointsPlus diet. The recipe makes 4 servings and is 8 points per serving.
