chicken breast - thin
6 slices Alpine Lace Swiss cheese
6 slices ham or turkey- I use turkey
3 tablespoons all-wheat flour
1 teaspoon paprika
4 tablespoons Smart Balance
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Place a cheese and turkey on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Mix the flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat the chicken pieces.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Add the wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
Remove the toothpicks, and transfer the breasts to a warm platter. Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl, and whisk slowly into the skillet. Cook, stirring until thickened, and pour over the chicken. Serve warm.

my dad makes these so good, but he breads the chicken before cooking....and the cheese oozes out of either end of the chicken.

One of my favorite meals. My dad makes a great version of this also. I absolutely love Chicken Cordon Bleu/Rollatini.
