Ingredients
¼ cup low-sodium, fat-free chicken stock
5 teaspoons melted butter
1 large garlic clove, minced
½ cup dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon grated fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
4 skinless and boneless chicken breast halves (6 oz each)

4 thin slices of prosciutto (about 2 ounces)
¼ cup (1 oz) grated partially fat-free mozzarella cheese
Cooking Spray
To make
This lightweight version of Cordon Bleu chicken remains delicious despite the small amount of butter. While the chicken is baking, prepare mashed potatoes and garnish with green beans.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.Pour the broth into a small bowl suitable for a microwave oven; reheat in the microwave on high power for 15 seconds or until it warms up. Add the butter and garlic. Combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan reggiano and paprika in a medium bowl; set aside.Place each half of the chicken breast between 2 sheets of thick plastic wrap and mash each to a 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt, oregano and pepper. Sprinkle each breast half with 1 slice of prosciutto and 1 tablespoon of mozzarella. Roll the halves of each breast into a jelly roll. Dip each roll in the chicken stock mixture; roll in the breadcrumbs. Place the rolls seam-side down in an 8-inch square baking dish greased with cooking spray. Pour the remaining stock mixture over the chicken. Bake at 350 ° C for 28 minutes or until the juice is clear and the tops are golden.
