  • 6 slices ham
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Garlic Mashed Potato Gratin

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 pounds russet potatoes , peeled and diced
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 3/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 ounces cream cheese , at room temperature
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken breasts if they are too thick. Place a cheese and ham slice on each breast within 1/2 inch of the edges. Fold the edges of the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Mix the flour and paprika in a small bowl, and coat the chicken pieces.
  2. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until browned on all sides. Add the wine and bouillon. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
  3. Remove the toothpicks, and transfer the breasts to a warm platter.
  4. Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl, and whisk slowly into the skillet. Cook, stirring until thickened, and pour over the chicken. Serve warm.

  6. Grease a 2-quart ovenproof dish. In a large pot, cover potatoes and garlic with cold water and add 1 tsp. salt. Bring to boil and cook over medium heat until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and return potatoes and garlic to pot.
  7. While potatoes are cooking, bring cream, grated Parmesan and 1 Tbsp. butter to simmer in a medium saucepan, stirring until Parmesan melts. Remove mixture from heat and set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  8. Mash potatoes and garlic with cream cheese until smooth. Add cream mixture to potato mixture and stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper and spoon potato mixture into prepared baking dish.
  9. Dot potatoes with remaining 1 Tbsp. butter and bake until potatoes are heated through and golden brown on top, about 45 minutes. Serve immediately.
