Light Chicken Cordon Bleu

This version of Chicken Cordon Bleu is not breaded, so it is much lighter and very tasty!

1 tablespoon butter or margarine
4 small, skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 thin slices of cooked ham
4 thin slices of Swiss cheese
1 bag pre-washed baby spinach

In non stick 12 inch 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.

Increase heat to medium high. Stir in broth, vinegar and pepper, cook, uncovered 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat; top each breast half with ham slice, then cheese slice. Cover skillet and cook until cheese melts, about 3 minutes.

Arrange spinach on warm platter, top with chicken and drizzle with balsamic mixture.

Makes 4 serving.
