Swiss Chicken Cutlets by Trisha Tucker
2 thin slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese (about 2 ounces)
4 chicken cutlets (4 ounces each), 1/4 inch thick
If you can't find chicken cutlets, simply use chicken breast halves and pound them between two sheets of wax paper to a ¼-inch thickness
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp unsalted butter or margarine (Brandon and I use salted and it tastes fine)
¾ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 tsp dried oregano
Cut each cheese slice in half; place 1 half on top of each cutlet. Starting with a short end, tightly roll up cutlets, jelly-roll style. Tie securely with string.
On waxed paper, combine flour and pepper. Mix well. Add cutlets; toss gently to coat. In a large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add cutlets; cook turning frequently, until golden, about 3 minutes.
Add broth and dried oregano to skillet. Increase heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until chicken is cooked through and sauce is slightly thickened, about 10 to 12 minutes. Place on a serving plate; remove string.
