OMG I was so stoked to find this recipe.  The more simple the recipe the better for me! LOTS or protein! 

I can't wait to try this! Laughing Cow Cheese is a staple in my house!

  Warm chicken wrapped around melted cheese and juicy ham that won't break the calorie bank!? Sign us up...

Ingredients:
One 5-oz. raw boneless skinless lean chicken breast cutlet
1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese, room temperature
1 oz. (about 3 slices) 97 - 98% fat-free ham slices
salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Put chicken in a large sealable plastic bag, squeeze out as much air as you can, and seal. Using a meat tenderizer or a can, carefully pound chicken through the bag until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Remove chicken from the bag, and season to taste with salt and pepper on both sides.

Lay the chicken flat and spread the cheese wedge over it. Evenly layer the ham slices on top of the cheese. Starting with one of the longer sides (or any side, if it's square), tightly roll up the chicken breast cutlet, and secure with toothpicks.

Place chicken roll in a baking dish lined with foil and/or sprayed with nonstick spray, and then cover the baking dish with foil.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Carefully remove the foil covering the dish. Continue to bake (uncovered) for an additional 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Enjoy!

That sounds amazing.  I love Chicken Cordon Bleu but I'm sure the kind I usually get is really terrible for you.  I'm only a bit over a week out, so I'll have to save this. 

Thanks for sharing.

Congrats Tracy. I start my regular food this weekend so this is on my recipe list for sure.  And post WLS we might even get 2 servings out of this if we add some veggies as a side dish! 

I am so a 5 ingredients or less cook

I'm guessing right now I could for sure get two or three servings for myself.  I figure its a good time to be eating a lot less.  I have a three year old so we can share a serving of things and its just about perfect.  I'm so looking forward to being able to eat rather than drink!
