Rhapsody in Bleu
Warm chicken wrapped around melted cheese and juicy ham that won't break the calorie bank!? Sign us up...

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!

    Aren't those laughing cow wedges the best? I think they like 45 calories...and you put them on crackers, spread on celery, nibble on by themselves, and they come in French Onion, Garlic and Swiss I think.

    Now another use!

    May I make a suggestion please? :smile:

    In lieu of toothpicks, place each roll into a muffin tin so you don't have to worry about them unrolling on you. :smile:

    Just wanted to let everyone know that these were a hit with everyone! :smile: So tasty! Careful--it could be easy to overindulge!

    Also, I'm not a big swiss cheese fan, but I figured I'd follow the recipe as is, and I'm happy that I did. REALLY good! :tongue: sluuuurp!

    I made these for dinner last night as well. However after I rolled them up, I dipped them in egg whites and lightly rolled them in seasoned bread crumbs before I baked them. My husband LOVED them....he actually said this is his favorite meal that I have made him! :laugh: I also served it with spinach which complimented the dish well.

    I tried this last week and eh... it was missing something. I will try it your way next time I decide to make this again. Thanks!
