Chicken Cordon Blue

I found this on Pinterest and made this last night and it was SO GOOD! And easy!!! Trust me! The sauce was delicious too:)

Ingredients:
Chicken:
2 Chicken Breasts (About 7 Oz. Each.)
4 Thin Slices Deli Ham (About 4 Oz. Total)
4 Slices Slim Cut Swiss Cheese
1/4 C. Whole Wheat Bread Crumbs (I used half Italian Bread Crumbs and half Panko)
2 Tbsp. Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese, Grated
1 Tbsp. Light Butter, Melted

Parmesan-Dijon Cream Sauce:
1 Tbsp. Light Butter
1 Tbsp. Whole Wheat White Flour (I used white)
1/2 C. Fat Free Milk
1/2 Tsp. Sodium Free Instant Chicken
1/2 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
1/4 C. Reduced Fat Parmesan Cheese, Grated
Salt & Pepper to Taste

Garnish:
Parsley

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with foil. Set aside.

Pound out the chicken breasts till thin (we only used 2 breasts for our whole family and it was enough!) cut each breast into how many pieces you want. put them on a pan, layer with slice of ham and Swiss cheese, then add the crumb topping. Bake 30-45 minutes. Or till done. Meanwhile make the sauce to go on top!

While the chicken is cooking, make your parmesan-dijon cream sauce!

In a small pot melt the butter.

Add in the flour and cook for a minute or two over medium-low heat to make a roux.

Slowly add in the miilk, stirring constantly. Then add in the instant chicken.

Stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. I actually need more milk than it called for so it wasn't so thick.

Once the sauce is bubbling and thickened, remove from heat and add in the dijon and parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.Season with salt and pepper. 

I served this with mashed potatoes (with the dijon-gravy on top), banana squash (thanks Patti ;), and green beans. Yummy, yummy dinner!!!
