SKILLET CHICKEN CORDON BLEU



Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu image

I love making Chicken Cordon Bleu which I usually bread, roll and bake. But I wanted something quick with the same ingredients and came up with this - lazy chicken cordon bleu made all in one skillet. This is great with roasted veggies or you can serve this with rice pilaf.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 thin boneless (skinless cutlets, 4 oz each)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup all purpose flour*
1/2 teaspoon butter
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
2/3 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 thin slices low sodium deli ham (I use Boar's Head (3 oz total))
4 slices light Swiss Cheese such as Alpine Lace (3 oz total)
chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
* All purpose gluten-free flour works well here.

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Place the flour in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge the chicken with flour on both sides, shaking off the excess reserving the flour.
  • In a small bowl combine the chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon of the reserved flour, whisk until smooth.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and half of the chicken.
  • Cook 2 minutes on each side, until slightly golden, then transfer to a dish.
  • Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and remaining chicken and cook 2 minutes on each side.
  • Set aside on a dish with the other pieces of chicken.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the chicken broth mixture. Whisk scraping up any bits stuck to the pan then simmer 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, top each piece with a slice of ham and a slice of swiss, cover the skillet and simmer medium-low for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese melts.
  • To serve use a spatula and transfer the chicken to each dish, spoon the remaining sauce over each piece.

TURKEY OR CHICKEN CORDON BLUE--WEIGHT WATCHERS



Turkey or Chicken Cordon Blue--Weight Watchers image

This is one that my daughter makes that is delicious. It came from an older Weight Watchers Cookbook. It has only 4 points per serving. Even you non-WW friends will like it. You may use chicken breasts that you pound out into a cutlet. I prefer the chicken to the turkey.
