Adapted Version of Chicken Cordon Blue
I prefer gorgonzola cheese to blue and prosciutto to ham so I made up this version of chicken cordon bleu. Baking instead of pan frying, using less cheese, and panko crumbs instead of bread crumbs make this a healthier alternative to the regular recipe.
Ingredients: 2 chicken breasts- fat trimmed and pounded until thin, 4 slices of prosciutto, 2 tbsp gorgonzola cheese crumbled, 4 tbsp panko crumbs, 4 tbsp flour, 1 egg beaten.
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay the chicken breast flat and top with prosciutto and 1 tbsp cheese then roll it up like a jelly roll. Make separate dishes of flour, egg, and panko crumbs. Roll chicken in the flour, then in the egg, then dredge in panko crumbs. Repeat with second chicken breast. Spray a olive oil on top for a nice browning. Place on a cookie sheet or oven safe plate and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning the chicken half way through. Cut through the center to make sure chicken is cooked all the way through. MMmmmmm!
