Healthy Chicken and Turkey Recipes - Saltimbocca Gruyere Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/4 pound prosciutto or good boiled ham, thinly sliced

• 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1/2 cup dry white wine

Serves 4

---

Method:

1. Place a chicken breast in a large, heavy, zipper-lock bag and, using a hammer, meat tenderizer, or what-have-you, pound it until it's 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.

2. Once all your chicken breasts are pounded thin, place a layer of the prosciutto followed by some shredded Gruyere over each one, and then roll each breast up. Fasten with toothpicks.

3. Melt the butter with the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken rolls, and sauté, turning occasionally, until golden all over.

4. Add the wine to the skillet, turn the burner to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15 minutes.

5. Remove the rolls to a serving plate, and cover to keep warm. Turn the burner up to high, and boil the liquid in the skillet hard for 5 minutes, to reduce. Spoon over  rolls, and serve.
