This is a different take on Chicken Cordon Bleu. The chicken is topped with Mozzarella & prosciutto, with a zesty balsamic pan sauce, & plated over baby spinach.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 small skinless boneless chicken breast halves -- 1 pound
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 4 slices prosciutto -- 2 ounces, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices part skim milk mozzarella cheese -- 2 ounces, thinly sliced
  • 6 ounces spinach -- baby spinach, 1 bag 5-6 oz, prewashed

Directions
  1. In nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Turn chicken over and reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until chicken loses its pink color throughout, about 6 minutes longer.
  2. Increase heat to medium-high. Stir in broth, vinegar, and pepper; cook, uncovered, 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat; top each breast half with prosciutto slice, then cheese slice. Cover skillet until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Arrange spinach on warm platter. Place chicken on top of spinach & drizzle with balsamic mixture.

I hive stuffed them with prosciutto and mozzarella. D-i-l doesn't like ham. Have not used balsamic glaze. Looks like a nice addition!


Nice recipe!! I do a variation with bacon and a cheddar cheese that has caramelized onions. I also use a apricot vinaigrette for my glaze. If you are interested, I can send a bottle to you, or give you info to purchase. They also make an excellent cherry vinaigrette.


Wow luv this one another great chicken recipe thanks bunches high5


I will try this, I made a more traditional one with ham and swiss, but my family does't care for the swiss cheese. Thanks for sharing.:)


Perfect! Saved and bookmarked! This sounds so tasty!
Another high 5 for you!
