Skillet Chicken Cordon Bleu

3/4 to 1 lb chicken breast, cut up in small bite sized pieces 1/2 cup low fat ham (deli stuff works good, as long as it is not really realy thin) also cut into pieces 1 can fat free/lowfat cream of celery soup 1/2 cup swiss cheese 1/4 to 1/2 cup of wine, depending on how "winey" you want it to taste..I use 1/2 cup) 1 tsp butter or margarine (I use country crock light stuff...you may even be able to get away with not even using it) Put butter/margarine into pan over med high heat. Cook chicken until almost done. Remove chicken from pan. Pour wine into pan to deglaze pan. Add soup, ham, and cheese. Bring to a boil. Return chicken to pan. Lower heat to simmer 5-7 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked. All done! My family likes it serves over egg noodles, but I try to stay away from the carbs (unless cookies or cake is involved! LOL) I usually eat about 1/2 cup and am full for the rest of the night. YOu can add more ham or chicken depending on your personal tastes... Sorry, I have never figured out the cals/protein/fat....I do know, however, it is not a bad thing..LOL Janice

I'm a BIG chix eater, thanks for the recipe!!!! Does it work to skip the wine???

I am sure it would...I have never made it without, but I do not forsee any issue with it! It would be more cheesy than tangy...but still good! Also, I have made it using whatever cheese I have...cheddar, mexican mix, etc, and all were good.... Janice (I am a big chix eater, too....lol)

You could replace the wine with water or chicken broth. You do need something liquid in order to deglaze the pan. It sounds yummy! I will have to try it this weekend. Dawn

Sounds deliscious!! I'll make it for my family. My 9 year old's favorite food is Chic Cord Bleu! Unfortunately, I can't have dairy so I'll have to go without. Maybe I could just replace all the cheese and soup with more wine. Then I wouldn't care how it tasted! LOL Thanks Janice, Ronda

You know...the recipe may be a lot better if you replaced the chicken, and ham with wine, too! LMAO!! Janice

Mmmm... I've made it sorta like this in the oven, though... good stuff... I just used chopped cooked chicken......and real butter! Beth 'How puzzling all these changes are,' said Alice.
