INGREDIENTS
3
double chicken breasts (about 7-ounces each), skinless and boneless
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp
Dijon mustard
6
thin slices deli ham
4
large slices (Baby) Swiss* cheese
Many recipes call for Gruyere cheese, but since it's around $16 a package, I had to go with Swiss!
2 tsp
fresh thyme leaves, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup
flour
1 cup
Panko bread crumbs
1 tsp
olive oil
2
eggs
2 tsp
water
6 tbsp
butter
1/2 cup
dry white wine
1 tsp
chicken bouillon granules
1 tsp
cornstarch
1 cup
heavy whipping cream
Careful about the amount of salt you add. The ham and cheese both have a lot of salt already.
Choose side dishes that are NOT rich. You actually want something with some acid in it to cleanse your palate in between bites of all this richness.
This dish could easily be broken into multiple steps. You could prepare the chicken bundles and freeze or put in the fridge to just pop into the oven after work. The wine sauce could be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
