Chicken Breasts Stuffed With Ham And Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 lb chicken breast, cutlets pounded very thin
    4 ounces lean boiled ham, sliced thin (4 slices)
    4 ounces lowfat swiss cheese, sliced thin (4 slices)
    cooking spray
    1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced
    1 large shallot, finely minced
    1/2 cup white wine
    1/4 cup fat-free low-sodium chicken broth
    1 teaspoon dried tarragon
    salt and pepper
Preparation
    Cut pounded chicken into 8 thin cutlets. Lay out 4 cutlets; top each with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheese, and then top with a second cutlet.
    Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and saute layered chicken-ham-cheese over medium-high heat, carefully turning once, for 8-10 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
    Respray pan and saute mushrooms and shallot over medium-high heat, stirring for 3 minutes. Add wine to deglaze pan, stirring to scrape up any brown bits, until it's reduced by half.
    Add chicken broth and tarragon and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in any chicken juices that have accumulated on plate and add salt and pepper to taste.
