How To Cook Chicken Valdostana

Chicken Valdostana

Ingredients :

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 
• 6 boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter or margarine 
• 10 mushrooms, thinly sliced 
• 3/4 cup dry white wine 
• 3/4 cup veal stock (OR chicken stock OR turkey stock) 
• 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley 
• freshly ground white pepper to taste 
• 6 thin slices prosciutto ham 
• 6 thin slices fontina cheese

How To Cook :

Lightly flour chicken breasts, shaking off excess flour. In a large skillet over low heat, melt butter/margarine. Add chicken and saute until lightly browned, about 2 minutes each side. Remove with slotted spatula and set aside. Increase heat to medium low. Add mushrooms and saute until juices are rendered, about 4 minutes. Add wine and simmer until reduced by 1/4, about 3 to 4 minutes. Increase heat to medium high. Add stock, parsley and pepper and simmer until sauce reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Top each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto and a slice of fontina cheese. Return chicken to skillet and cook just until cheese melts. Transfer chicken to individual plates and top each with some of the mushroom sauce before serving
