Chicken Cordon Bleu

Also tried this one this weekend, from the December issue of Cooking Light. Very yummy!

Chicken Cordon Bleu
1/4 cup fat-free, less sodium chicken broth
5 tsp. butter, melted
1 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 Tbs grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tsp. paprika
4 (6 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
4 thin slices prosciutto (@ 2 oz)
1/4 cup (1 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place broth in microwave-safe bowl; microwave on high 15 seconds or until warm. Stir in butter and garlic. Combine breadcrumbs, parmigiano and paprika in a medium shallow bowl; set aside.

Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap, and pound each to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt, pepper and oregano. Top each breast half with 1 slice prosciutto and 1 Tbs mozzarella. Roll up each breast half jelly-roll fashion. Dip each roll in chicken broth mixture; dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Place rolls, seam side down, in an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour remaining broth mixture over chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for 28 minutes or until juices run clear and tops are golden.
