Introduction
I like this recipe because it feels so indulgent, but the entree is only around 375 calories for a very generous, filling serving!It is so easy to prepare, but it will definitely impress dinner guests. It's great for parties or for just one or two people, because the recipe is simple to multiply or divide, depending upon the number of servings you need.
The honey mustard sauce is a wonderful finishing touch! I like this recipe because it feels so indulgent, but the entree is only around 375 calories for a very generous, filling serving!

Ingredients
-
4 booneless, skinless chicken breasts, approx. 6 oz. each
Salt and black pepper to taste (not included in the nutritionals, because this is a variable ingredient)
4 slices low-fat deli ham
4 slices reduced fat Swiss cheese
2 tbsp. flour
1/4 cup Egg Beaters or egg substitute
1 cup panko bread crumbs
4 wooden toothpicks
Juice of 1/2 lemon (approx. 1/3 cup)
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tbsp. honey
1/2 tbsp. olive oil mayonnaise
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees farenheit.
Prepare chicken: Sandwich each individual chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and place on a heavy cutting board or butcher block. Using the smooth side of a meat tenderizer or the back side of a heavy pan, pound each chicken breast to a uniform 1/4" thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Season chicken all over with salt and pepper to taste. (Go easy on the salt, because the ham and cheese will add plenty of saltiness to the finished dish).
Roll Up Breasts: Lay 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of swiss cheese across one breast, then roll widthwise until you have a tight, jellyroll-like package. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat process for each additional breast.
Add Breading: Place the flour, egg and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Working with one breast at a time, dip first in the flour to lightly coat, then in the egge, then immediately in the bread crumbs. Use your fingers to make sure the chicken is evenly coated with crumbs.
Bake: Arrange chicken on a baking sheet sprayed with a light coating of cooking spray. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the chicken in firm to the touch and cooked through and the bread crumbs are brown & crunchy.
Meanwhile, Prepare Sauce: Whisk together the lemon juice, mustard, honey and mayonnaise.
Plate each breast and drizzle with 1/4 of the Honey Mustard Sauce.
Yields 4 (scant 7-8oz.) servings
