It's a really simple recipe that easily converts for larger or smaller families.
For each person you will need:
1 chicken breast
1 slice of Swiss cheese ( I only use 1/4 of a slice for me-I get the flavor w/out the calories)
2 thin slices of lean ham
Egg substitute
Parmesan Cheese
Pound each chicken breast as flat as possible (this is GREAT for your stress level). Place ham and Swiss slices on top of chicken. Roll it up and secure with a toothpick. Dip each roll into egg substitute. Roll in Parmesan cheese. Place on cookie sheet. Bake @350 for 30 minutes.
Does it tastes as good as the real stuff?-of course not. It isn't covered in bread crumbs and deep fried. However, it is carb free, tastes really good, and it even get rave reviews from my hoard of picky eaters. If you've have any recipes that are low in fat and carbs, then please share-I've got 10 more weeks to go.

ReplyDeleteHubs is diabetic. He says he doesn't like chicken (sick of it) but don't think he'd ever say such a thing after eating THIS!
Thanks for sharing!

Congrats on the two weeks! Good job! Definitely trying this! One of our fave recipes is from Weight Watchers. Dip skinless chicken breast in fat free ranch dressing. Roll in crushed corn flakes. Bake. Enjoy! - Marci

Yum. I've added this to my pile of recipes to try. I like that I can make just one or two without having to make 4 or 6 servings. It's just me in the house now and it gets depressing not cooking my favorites because they make too much food!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to Black Kats Design Cheap Thrills Thursday. I hope you come back next week. I can't wait to see what you have to show off!
