    This is one of my favorites and it re-heats pretty well if you make more than just the one serving the recipe makes. I got it off of hungrygirl.com

    Chicken Cordon Bleu

    Ingredients:
    One 5-oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlet
    1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese, room temperature
    1 oz. (about 3 slices) 97 - 98% fat-free ham slices
    salt and black pepper, to taste

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Put chicken in a large sealable plastic bag, squeeze out as much air as you can, and seal. Using a meat tenderizer or a can, carefully pound chicken through the bag until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Remove chicken from the bag, and season to taste with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Lay the chicken flat and spread the cheese wedge over it. Evenly layer the ham slices on top of the cheese. Starting with one of the longer sides (or any side, if it's square), tightly roll up the chicken breast cutlet, and secure with toothpicks.

    Place chicken roll in a baking dish lined with foil and/or sprayed with nonstick spray, and then cover the baking dish with foil.

    Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil covering the dish. Continue to bake (uncovered) for an additional 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Enjoy!

    Thanks so much for this recipe. I made it for an extended family dinner, and it was a hit!
  • Mine may seem kind of boring..I take skinless/boneless chick. breast and marinade in italian dressing, but tonight I'm using the Parmesan/Roman Lite Italian dressing by Kens..We grill it and serve with a grilled sweet potato, grilled squash/zucchini and it's all about 400cals for the whole meal! We also use the italian dressing on orange roughy..
    I've enjoyed reading all of the replies for new recipes!

    My favorite is to buy prosciutto and wrap each chicken breast in one slice and then broil the chicken breast until it is done. Proscuitto is delicious and adds a very good flavor to chicken without adding anything else.

    CURRIED ORANGE CHICKEN

    1 (2 lb.) chicken, cut up
    1/2 tsp. curry powder
    1/4 c. orange juice
    2 tbsp. honey
    1 tbsp. prepared mustard
    2 tsp. cornstarch
    1 tbsp. cold water
    1/2 orange (peeled, sliced and quartered)

    Sprinkle chicken with curry powder, rub into meat. Arrange chicken in small baking dish, skin side down.
    Combine orange juice, honey, mustard in small saucepan, simmer until blended. Pour over chicken; bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Turn chicken over, continue baking 20 minutes. Remove chicken to serving platter; keep warm.

    In small saucepan, combine cornstarch, water and pan juices. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Add orange pieces, heat one minute. Pour sauce over chicken. Serve with cooked rice

    Take the skin off before cooking for low cal. I add onion to sauce while cooking

    I make the salsa chicken, but when you throw in the cheese- I throw in black beans & jalapenos. I also don't use the entire bag of taco seasoning- I use about 1/5 of it... and I add in my own cumin & crushed black peppers.

    This is a great dish to use inside tacos, over rice, or just on a plate!
