Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
½ teaspoon paprika
4 thin slices fully cooked ham
1 cup soft bread crumbs
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon pepper
3 to 4 tablespoons fat free mayonnaise

Sauce:
1 tablespoon “I can’t believe it’s not butter”
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 cup skim milk
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup shredded Swiss cheese

Directions:
Flatten the chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. Spread mustard on one side; sprinkle with paprika. Top each with a ham slice. Roll up tightly; secure with toothpicks. In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and pepper. Brush chicken with mayonnaise; roll in crumb mixture. Place in a shallow 2-qt. microwave-safe dish; cover loosely. Microwave on high for 7 minutes; turn chicken. Cook 5-1/2 minutes more or until juices run clear; keep warm. In a 1-qt. microwave-safe dish, heat butter on high for 20 seconds; stir in flour until smooth. Cook, uncovered, on high for 20 seconds. Add milk and salt. Cook 2-3 minutes longer or until thickened. Stir in cheese until smooth. Add wine. Discard toothpicks from chicken; top with sauce.
