If your looking to impress, serving this dish certainly will!
Ingredients:
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 slices ham
3 Tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup white wine or broth
1 teaspoon chicken broth granules
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup heavy cream
Cooking Instructions:
Pound the chicken breasts. Place a ham and a cheese slice on each chicken breast. Roll up tightly,
tucking in sides to completely enclose ham and cheese. Secure with toothpicks. Mix flour and next 4
ingredients in a small bowl and coat the chicken pieces with the mixture. In a large skillet heat
the butter over medium-high heat and brown the chicken rolls on all sides. Add wine and broth granules,
reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is done in center. Remove chicken and
keep warm on a serving platter. Blend cornstarch with the cream and stir into the skillet, stirring
constantly and cooking until thickened. Serve sauce over chicken.
