Chicken Breasts Stuffed With Ham and Cheese

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, cutlets pounded very thin
4 ounces lean boiled ham, sliced thin ( 4 slices)
4 ounces lowfat swiss cheese, sliced thin ( 4 slices)
cooking spray
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 large shallot, finely minced
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
salt and pepper

Directions

1. Cut pounded chicken into 8 thin cutlets. Lay out 4 cutlets; top each with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheese, and then top with a second cutlet.
2. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and saute layered chicken-ham-cheese over medium-high heat, carefully turning once, for 8-10 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
3. Respray pan and saute mushrooms and shallot over medium-high heat, stirring for 3 minutes. Add wine to deglaze pan, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until it’s reduced by half.
4. Add chicken broth and tarragon and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in any chicken juices that have accumulated on plate and add salt and pepper to taste.
