Lighter Chicken Cordon Bleu image

We've taken a traditional dish and given it a healthier spin by using the broiler instead of a frying pan. The result has plenty of flavor with less fat.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided, plus more for brushing
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, divided
Sugar
8 chicken cutlets (1 1/2 pounds total)
Salt and pepper
8 slices Canadian bacon (1/2 pound total)
4 ounces sliced Swiss
5 ounces tender baby lettuces, such as spring mix (5 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. In a small bowl, mix together panko and 1 teaspoon oil until coated. In a small jar, combine vinegar, 1 tablespoon mustard, remaining 1/4 cup oil, and pinch of sugar; shake to combine.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. On a rimmed baking sheet, make 4 stacks, sandwiching Canadian bacon and Swiss between 2 chicken cutlets. Brush tops with oil, season with salt and pepper, and broil until golden and cooked through, 7 minutes. Spread each stack with 1/2 teaspoon mustard and sprinkle with panko. Broil until panko is golden and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Toss lettuces with half the dressing (reserve remaining for Cornbread-Stuffed Shrimp), season with salt and pepper, and serve alongside chicken.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken cordon bleu turned out really dry. The ham and cheese filling was also bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This dish was amazing! The chicken was juicy, the ham was flavorful, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I served it with a side of mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was the perfect meal.

This dish was a little too rich for my taste. The chicken was a bit dry, and the ham and cheese filling was overwhelming. I think I would have preferred a lighter version of this recipe.
