Time 23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons fig jam
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (about 3 ounces)
8 thin slices black forest ham
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 cups baby greens

Steps:

  • Mix the jam, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.
  • Lay out a long piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Place the chicken on the plastic and brush half of the jam mixture evenly on top of each breast. Mound a quarter of the cheese on each piece of chicken, then wrap 2 slices of ham around each breast to cover the cheese. Place another piece of plastic over the chicken and gently pound with a mallet or heavy skillet until about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until cooked through but still moist, 3 to 4 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the shallot, mustard, vinegar and the remaining jam mixture in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil to make a smooth dressing.
  • Place each piece of chicken on a plate and drizzle with dressing. Toss the greens with the remaining dressing; serve with the chicken.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was raw in the middle and the cheese sauce was curdled. I will not be making this again.

The chicken was good, but the cheese sauce was a little bland. I would add more spices next time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler chicken recipes in the future.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
