A dear friend from my high school days shared this recipe with me. You might think it sounds complicated to make, but it's quite easy once you've tried it. Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each) |
4 thin slices fully cooked ham |
4 thin slices swiss cheese |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/3 cup butter |
1/2 cup white grape juice |
1 chicken bouillon cube |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Top each with a slice of ham and cheese; fold to fit. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour and paprika. Coat chicken with flour mixture.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Cook chicken for 5 minutes on each side or no longer pink. Add grape juice and bouillon. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until chicken is tender.
3. Remove chicken and keep warm. In a small bowl, combine cream and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually stir into pan juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with chicken. Yield: 4 servings.
