Instructions

  1. General prep:
    • Mix flour and paprika together in a shallow bowl.
  2. Prepare chicken:
    • Pound chicken breasts to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
    • Place one slice of Swiss cheese and one slice of ham onto each breast, leaving the outer 1/2 inch uncovered.
    • Roll the chicken over the filling, dip in the flour mixture to coat on all sides, and secure with toothpicks.
  3. Cook chicken:
    • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    • Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes.
    • Add wine and bouillon.
    • Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes.
    • An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165°F (74°C).
  4. Make gravy:
    • Transfer chicken to a warm platter and remove the toothpicks.
    • Whisk cream and cornstarch together in a small bowl; slowly pour into the skillet, whisking constantly to blend with the remaining wine mixture.
    • Cook, stirring often, until sauce thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. Serve:
    • Pour sauce over chicken and serve immediately.

Our Usual Adjustment:

We usually either:

• Halve the chicken, Swiss cheese, and ham.

• Double the gravy (cream & cornstarch).
