Skinny Cordon Bleu

You guys know you missed me! :)
So this is the skinny cordon bleu that we made! Well, mostly my little sister made it, but I did help! I must say, it was AMAZING! We didn't technically make it completely healthy... the cheese wasn't low fat, but it was mostly healthy ;)

Here is the original pin

What you'll need:
12 thin sliced chicken breasts (I think we just sliced 6 regular breast in half)
salt and pepper
1 egg
2 egg whites
1 Tablespoon water
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated parmasean cheese
6 slices sargento reduced fat swiss cheese slices, cut in half
6 slices deli ham, cut in half

We ended up making more breading for ours, but other than that, basically just make the egg wash with the egg and egg whites, and water. Then roll it in the bread crumbs and grated cheese. The rest you just roll up in the breast! Cook at 450 for 25 minutes! Amazing! :)

Sweet Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken

Hey there! It has been awhile, and by awhile I mean I stopped scheduling posts...
Sorry about that.
This is what I actually made today. Like for real today, not I made this a week ago and scheduled it to post today. Ha ha, I just feel so productive when I can do twelve posts in one day and set them all to go one a day for a week and a half :) Don't judge.

So I changed a few steps on this one, well, I added a few steps. As promised, I took a few pictures of the added steps.

What you'll need:

  • 2 lbs. of chicken (about 4 breasts)
  • 1 can of pineapple juice
  • 1/3 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • cornstarch and water
1. First you just throw the chicken, the pineapple juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar into a crock pot for 6-8 hours. The recipe called for one cup of pineapple juice, but my can was only 6 oz. it worked out fine.
2. Strain your juice and scrape off the fat from the chicken.

3. Put the strained juice on stove, and add one tablespoon cornstarch and water. Make sure that your corn starch is COMPLETELY dissolved in your water before you pour it in. 
4. Stir until it darkens and thickens. It doesn't get very thick, but it definitely gets a little more body. 
5. Pour it over your chicken and enjoy!

It was amazing! I would do it in a sandwich next time! We did it over rice, but it would be tastier on a roll! Try it out! Super easy and delicious :)
