Chicken Cordon Bleu

I posted a recipe that I got from the Lose to Win group (it was one of those bazillion that I listed in one day). It was the Turkey Bacon, Spinach and Mozz Cheese Stuffed Chicken breast recipe. I made it tonight and made a few changes. Oh. My. Goodness. It was SO good. It is for sure my new favorite meal! You could even make it for company, no one would know any different. It's delicious.




Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts

1 handful spinach

2 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese

2 melba toast crackers

4 slices turkey bacon

1 tbsp evoo



1. Place 2 chicken breasts in a ziploc bag and pound them flat.

2. Wash and cut 1 large handful spinach.

3. Put 2 Whole Wheat Melba Toast crackers in a ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin.

4. Fry 4 slices of turkey bacon on the stovetop. Remove turkey bacon and dice. Keep the pan hot (with the bacon drippings) and add 1 TBSP EVOO.

5. Place 1 slice mozzarella cheese on chicken. Add 1/2 the spinach and 1/2 the diced bacon.

6. Roll chicken up and hold in place with a toothpick

7. Roll chicken in cracker crumbs.

8. Brown chicken in the hot skillet until crispy.

9. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.



I served this with brown rice and green beans. I think I will make this again on Saturday. I ate 1/2 of one chicken breast. I figured that with the turkey bacon and cheese that was enough protein in just 1/2.



I took a picture of it so you can see how delicious it looks. I'll post it later.



Please, make this recipe. I'm begging you. I want you to have the same delight I had tonight! Yummy! My husband also gave it 2 thumbs up and asked me to make it on Sunday when we have family coming over. (But, I'm not going to because Sunday is my day off so I'll save this for a Game On day).
