How to Make Aussie Swiss Chicken
- Dust 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) with 1/4 cup seasoned flour.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 cloves of crushed garlic and the chicken breasts.
- Sauté gently for 5-7 minutes per side, until chicken is lightly golden brown.
- Pour in 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc).
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
- Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Trim 4 slices of prosciutto to roughly the same size as the chicken breasts.
- Top each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese (about 4 ounces total).
- Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat.
- Bring the wine sauce to a boil.
- Boil uncovered until the sauce reduces to about 1/2 cup.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the skillet with the chicken in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C).
- Bake uncovered for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken before serving.
