Malibu Chicken Bundles

Submitted by LilPup

"I created this one night for dinner and hubby and I really enjoyed it. I have since made it several times for dinner guests and it has been a big hit. It is a fun and surprisingly light dish. Don't let the idea of the mustard scare you, it adds a really nice, flavorful touch and you won't know that it is there."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 10mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 4 bundles
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded flat
• 1⁄2 cup honey dijon mustard, divided
• 4 slices honey-roasted ham
• 4 slices swiss cheese
• 8 ounces unsweetened crushed canned pineapple, well drained, divided in 1/4
• 1 1⁄2 cups panko breadcrumbs, bread crumbs may also be used
• salt and pepper, to taste

• SAUCE

• 10 3⁄4 ounces reduced-fat cream of chicken soup
• 1⁄4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• 1⁄8 teaspoon tarragon
• 2 -4 tablespoons water (optional)

directions

1. Spread 1 tablespoon mustard on each flattened breast. Next layer ham, cheese and pineapple. Fold chicken over pineapple, tightly and secure with a toothpick to form a bundle. Refrigerate for 30 minutes - this is optional, but the coolness will allow the bundles to somewhat "set" and they are easier to handle.
2. In a shallow bowl combine the bread crumbs and salt and pepper. Brush all sides of bundles with the remaining mustard. Roll in the bread crumbs and place in a prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350 for 45-50 minutes or until done. You may want to broil them the last minute or two to add a nice brown crispiness.
3. While chicken is cooking, in a small saucepan, combine the soup with the sour cream and tarragon. Simmer until sauce like consistency. You may add water if it is too thick. I don't usually add water and I simmer it approximately 15 minutes on low heat. Serve over chicken. Approximately 1/3 cup sauce per bundle.

This was great and a big hit with my dinner guests... I used honey mustard because I did not have honey dijon. I also did not have tarragon but they came out awesome. Thanks for the great recipe.
