Skinny Chicken Cordon Bleu "Cupcakes"

I love chicken cordon bleu, but anything revolving around French cuisine is hardly "light". I decided to change things up a bit and make a "skinny" version. I also made them into little "cupcakes" using Nasoya egg roll wrappers. This not only turns them into portion-controlled sizes, but also super portable for gatherings and parties.

For the main parts of this recipe you will need:
18 egg roll wrappers (I use Nasoya brand)
12 oz chicken (about 3 4 ounce boneless breasts)
4 ounces boiled or baked ham, cubed (I get a thick slice from the deli - Healthy Ones, 1/4 lb)
1/2 C panko crumbs (optional) to top over "cupcakes" before cooking

For the sauce:
2 C milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond)
3 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp butter
4 ounces swiss cheese (I use Jarlsberg)
3 Tbsp grated parmesan
1 Tbsp whipped cream cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
ground black peppercorns, to taste

In a pan, boil the chicken until done. Remove from water and slice into tiny pieces (or shred if you are able to). Put in in a large bowl and set aside. Cut the ham into 1/8" strips and cube. I end up with tiny dices of ham that are about the size of the capital "O" letter on a standard keyboard. Set ham and chicken aside, in a large glass bowl.

To make the sauce, first heat butter and gently whisk in flour. Gradually stir in milk. Continue stirring while heating and add garlic powder, optional pepper, parmesan, swiss, and whipped cream cheese. Continue stirring until fully melted and sauce has a smooth texture. Top with grated black pepper and stir to incorporate. Add mixture to ham and chicken that's in the glass bowl.

To assemble, spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray or coat with oil. Fill each muffin compartment with one large egg roll wrapper and fill with creamy chicken and ham mixture. Optional* Top each "cupcake" using the 1/2 C of panko crumbs, if desired.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until egg roll wrappers are crispy. Due to varying oven times, check after 10 minutes.
