So, tonight I made the chicken cordon bleu. I am taking the picture from the book, mine did not turn out looking so neat and pretty, but it was still yummy!
Ingredients:
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz each) - *I bought the chicken breast tenderloins they weren't quite 4 oz but I just used less cheese on each*
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 slices lean deli ham *I used the reduced sodium deli ham*
1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2/3 cup skim milk
1 cup crushed cornflakes
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
SAUCE:
1 can healthy choice condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in thickness. Sprinkle with pepper; place a ham slice and 3 tablespoons of cheese down the center of each piece. Roll up and tuck in ends; secure with toothpicks. Pour milk into a shallow bowl. In another bowl, combine the cornflakes, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Dip chicken in milk, then roll in crumbs.
2. Place in a 13-in x 9-in baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until juices run clear.
3. Meanwhile in a small saucepan, whisk the soup, sour cream, and lemon juice until blended; heat through. Discard toothpicks from chicken; serve with sauce.

Jason loved it too - and he is not much of a chicken person. I served ours with green beans and whole wheat couscous.
Enjoy!
