List of Ingredients




1/3 cup flour

1/2 tsp salt, divided

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 skinless and boneless chicken breast halves

2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 thin slice deli smoked ham, cut into 4 pieces

2 thin slices deli Provolone cheese, each cut into 2 pieces

1 medium shallot, peeled and minced

1/4 lb. mushrooms, cleaned and thinly sliced

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup dry white wine

1 tsp tomato paste

1/4 cup finely chopped parsley

1/2 tsp dried oregano, crushed

1/2 tsp arrowroot dissolved in 2 tsp water

Recipe





Combine the flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt and about 10 grinds fresh black pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture and set aside.


In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. When hot, put the chicken into the pan and cook 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and top each breast with a piece of ham and cheese. Cook an additional 4 minutes. Remove from the pan.


Heat the remaining olive oil in the pan. Add the shallot and cook 1 minute. Then add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, 5 minutes.


Pour the broth and wine into the pan. Stir in the tomato paste, parsley and oregano. Simmer 4 minutes. Then stir in the dissolved arrowroot and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.


Put the chicken back into the pan, spooning some of the sauce over each piece. Cook about 2 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Check the chicken for doneness in the center.

Makes 4 servings.
