Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Four 8- to 10-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 slices deli ham, each slice halved (about 3 ounces)
4 thin slices provolone (about 2 1/2 ounces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives or dill
1 1/4 pounds red-skinned potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Insert a paring knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast to make a 3-inch-long pocket down the side, cutting in about halfway. Rub the insides of the pockets with 1 tablespoon of the mustard for all 4 breasts. Stuff each breast with 2 half slices of ham and 1 slice of provolone, folding them to fit. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chicken; reduce the heat to medium if the chicken becomes too dark towards the end of the cooking time. Cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil during the last 3 minutes of cooking time to finish cooking the chicken through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Check the temperature at the thickest part of the breast without stuffing.
  • Transfer the chicken to 4 plates or a cutting board and add the chicken broth and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard to the skillet. Cook, whisking, over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter and chopped herbs.
  • Depending on the size of the breasts, either put 1chicken breast on each of 4 plates or slice all the breasts and divide among 6 plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes on the side.
  • Serving suggestion: Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes, recipe follows.
  • Place a rimmed baking sheet in the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Thinly slice the potatoes about 1/8-inch thick and toss with the oil, salt and pepper. Carefully spread the slices on the hot baking sheet in a single layer and roast until golden and crispy, turning with a metal spatula occasionally and spreading them out to cook evenly, 30 to 35 minutes.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 (6- to 8-ounce) skinless boneless chicken breast halves
4 thin slices cooked ham (1/4 pound)
4 thin slices Swiss cheese (3 ounces)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 pound small mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
1 teaspoon finely chopped shallot
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 pound tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 cup heavy cream
Garnish: finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Accompaniments: watercress; cooked rice topped with truffle slices

Steps:

  • Butterfly and stuff chicken breasts:
  • If tenders are attached to undersides of breast halves, remove white tendons from tenders with a small sharp knife. Working with 1 at a time, butterfly breast halves: Lay each breast half, skinned side up, lengthwise on a cutting board. Holding a sharp knife parallel to work surface and beginning on a long side, cut breast almost in half horizontally (not all the way through), then open it like a book.
  • Cover opened breast halves with a piece of plastic wrap and gently pound each to an even 1/2-inch thickness with a meat pounder or rolling pin. Remove plastic wrap and cover each opened breast half with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheese, tucking in any protruding ends. Brush edge of chicken with some egg, reserving remainder, then fold each breast in half to enclose ham and cheese.
  • Cook chicken and make sauce:
  • Pat chicken dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. While butter is heating, quickly brush more egg onto seam of each breast again, then dredge breasts in flour, shaking off excess. Sauté chicken, turning over once, until golden and cooked through, about 8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
  • Add remaining tablespoon butter to skillet, then sauté mushrooms and shallot, stirring, 1 minute. Add wine and deglaze skillet by boiling, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until wine is reduced by about half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced by about half, about 6 minutes. Stir in any chicken juices accumulated on plate and season sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Serve chicken topped with sauce.
