Atkins Chicken Recipes

Ingredients:

4 half chicken breasts, bnls, sknls
4 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
4 oz gruyere cheese, cut in 1/2' strips
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup atkins bake mix
1/4 cup finely ground almonds
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp canola oil
lemon wedges

Instructions:

Quite similar to Italian chicken saltimbocca, this
prosciutto-Gruyere-flavored chicken breast is one of the easiest gourmet
dishes to make.

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Butterfly chicken breasts: Place each breast half on
a cutting board and make a horizontal slit through the thicker side,
cutting almost to the opposite side. Open breast to form two flaps.

2. Place a quarter of the prosciutto and Gruyere on one side of each breast
half, leaving a 1/2' border. Fold chicken over filling.

3. In a shallow bowl, mix egg with milk. In a shallow plate, combine bake
mix, almonds, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Carefully dip each piece of
chicken first in milk mixture, then in crumb mixture to coat.

4. Place butter and oil on a baking sheet; melt in oven. Place chicken on
baking sheet. Turn to coat in butter mixture. Bake about 35 minutes,
turning once halfway through cooking time, until browned on the outside and
cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges.
