Chicken Saltimbocca

This week was kind of slim pickings for us...I'm trying to use up what we have in the house and what's in the freezer...so this was something that I found that sounded good.  Ham and chicken with some swiss cheese mixed in?  I'm game!

Also, can I just rave about these little plastic slow cooker bags??  Oh.Em.Gee.  Love. LOVE.  LOVVVEEE.  No clean up.  Fantastic!  Genius I tell you!

Chicken Saltimocca (from Taste of Home Casseroles, Slow Cooker, and Soups)

6 boneless chicken breast halves
6 thin slice deli ham
6 slices swiss cheese
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 can (10 3/4 oz) cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth (I used chicken broth)
Hot cooked rice

Flatten chicken to 1/4 in thickness.  Top each piece with a slice of ham and cheese.  Roll up tightly; secure with toothpicks.  In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
Roll chicken in flour mixture; refrigerate for 1 hour.

In a skillet, brown roll ups in oil on all sides; transfer to slow cooker.  Combine the soup and wine or broth; pour over chicken.  Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours.  Remove roll ups and stir sauce.  Serve with rice.
A watched slow cooker never cooks....
Ready to get on my plate!
Aw, yeah!  Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Give this one a shot.  Not too hard, filling and very tasty!

Happy cooking!
