Ingredients
- 6 chicken breast skinless boneless
- 6 lices swiss cheese
- 6 lices ham
- 6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- ½ cup white wine dry
- 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon powder
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 6 Tablespoons butter
Instructions
- If your chicken breasts are too thick, pound them so they are a uniform thickness.
- Wrap a slice of cheese in the ham and wrap the chicken around it so the cheese will not run out. Tie with bakers string or fasten well with toothpicks.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour and paprika and place the chicken in the mixture coating it well on all sides.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, place your butter and cook the chicken until browned on all sides.
- Add the wine, powdered bouillon and minced garlic to your pan and reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken has an internal temperature of 165° and is cooked through. If the pan gets a bit dry while cooking you can add 1/4 cup of water.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a plate and remove the toothpicks or string.
- Mix the cream and the cornstarch in a small bowl, then pour into the pan that you just cooked the chicken in.
- Stir the butter into the cream in the pan until it melts and the mixture thickens
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve.
