Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breasts
- 2 Slices of ham
- 2 Slices of gouda cheese
- 50 g Plain flour
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Black pepper
- ½ tsp Paprika
- ½ tsp Garlic granules
For the sauce:
- 20 g Butter
- 20 g Plain flour
- 300 ml Chicken stock
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 10 g Parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cut a wide pocket in the side of each chicken breast being careful not to cut through.
- Place a slice of cheese on top of each piece of ham, then roll it up. Stuff the rolled cheese and ham into each chicken breast.
- In a dish, add the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic granules and mix well. Coat the stuffed chicken breasts in the seasoned flour.
- Heat some cooking oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until they are golden brown on both sides, then remove them from the pan.
- For the sauce, turn the heat down to a medium, then add in the butter, flour, chicken stock, and Dijon mustard. Stir well and cook until it’s smooth, then get the chicken back into the pan.
- Cover with a lid and simmer for ten minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. If the sauce gets too thick then add a splash of water.
- Sprinkle in the parsley, then stir it well. Taste for seasoning then dish it up, spoon over some of the sauce, and enjoy.
