Ham and Cheese Chicken Turnovers
Before I begin, I'd just like to take a moment to thank y'all in LJ-land for giving me great recipes to try. I made mellybrelly's banana muffins the other day and shared them with 3 other friends. As before, they were easy to make and tasted wonderful. And it's really true what they say...the riper the bananas, the better they are for baking. These muffins had the clearest banana flavor I've ever managed to get in any of my banana dishes. Usually I get impatient waiting for the bananas to ripen. But since I had been on a plantains kick, these bananas were overripe for eating by themselves but perfect for these muffins. The banana flavor just lingered in a happy memory of those muffins.
And then when I was reviewing pictures for this post, I realized that the side dish was made from the Lentil and Couscous Soup that rogerdoger had posted when I asked for more recipes. Another easy recipe that's also really healthy (not surprising since it's coming from him) So yay!
On to today's recipe. Simple preparation but impressive presentation. Made this for my boyfriend, Brian, and he liked it a lot. Oh yeah...he really liked it. I should probably make it again some time.
Ham and Cheese Chicken Turnovers
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves: 3
Here's an easy variation of chicken cordon bleu.
3 thin slices prosciutto
3 thin slices mozzarella cheese
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 Tablespoon butter or margarine
1/4 cup dry white wine [substituted chicken broth since I was out of wine]
1 Tablespoon chopped parsley

- Pound and flatten the chicken breast halves to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Place 1 slice prosciutto and 1 slice of cheese on each flattened chicken breast. Fold in half. Secure with wooden toothpicks or small skewers.
- In a large frying pan, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Add chicken turnovers and cook 3-5 minutes each side, until chicken is barely opaque throughout. Add wine [or chicken broth in my case] and simmer 5 minutes.
- Remove to a serving platter, discard picks, and garnish with parsley.
