Chicken A La Impress Me image

Firstly, this name came from the fact that it is easy to modify from a weekly recipe to a weekend recipe and because I give a name to everything I create and that my family likes. If they didn't like it, it would have been chicken A La Please-Mom-Never-Again!!!! Serve with a bechamel sauce. For the weekend version, replace the vegetables with baby shrimp and long strips of green onion, brown, and wrap in puff pastry.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
12 slices smoked ham
¾ cup shredded Gruyere cheese
¼ cup julienned carrots
¼ cup julienned zucchini
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place chicken breasts between two sheets of wax paper or plastic wrapping, and pound with a meat mallet to flatten.
  • Cover each flattened breast with a slice or two of ham. Place 2 tablespoons cheese and a bit of carrot and a zucchini on the end of each chicken breast. Roll up each breast, and fasten with toothpicks.
  • In a large skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium high heat. Cook chicken breasts in hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes to lightly brown. Place browned rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

The sauce is a bit heavy for my taste, but it's easy to lighten it up by adding a little milk or broth.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the chicken turned out perfectly. The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, so I added a little milk to thin it out.
