This is from the Australian Women's Weekely New Cookbook (which is now VERY old). September 09. I had this at a friend's place last week and she used prosciutto instead of regular ham-a really good substitution I'll be trying soon myself. Ingredients:
4 chicken breast fillets, skin removed (about 200g each) |
seasoned all-purpose flour |
90 g butter |
1 garlic clove |
3/4 cup dry white wine |
1 teaspoon french mustard |
1/2 cup cream |
3 shallots or 3 spring onions |
4 slices ham |
4 slices swiss cheese |
Directions:
1. Dust chicken breasts with the seasoned flour.
2. Heat the butter in frying pan; add crushed garlic and chicken; saute gently until chicken is lightly golden brown.
3. Add wine; bring to the boil.
4. Reduce heat; simmer covered 20 minutes or until chicken is tender; remove chicken from the pan.
5. Trim ham and cheese to approximately same size as chicken.
6. Put a slice of ham on each chicken fillet, then top with cheese.
7. Put on a heatproof serving dish.
8. Cook in a moderate oven, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
9. While chicken is in oven, bring liquid to the boil; boil uncovered until approximately a half a cup of liquid remains in pan.
10. Reduce heat, add cream, chopped shallots and mustard; stir until combined.
11. Season with salt and pepper.
12. Pour sauce over chicken.
