Chicken Supreme (Supremes De Volaille) image

This is one of my favorite chicken dishes. It's something like chicken corden bleu but much better. A friend's mother was a caterer this was one of her most popular recipes. She says the recipe takes a little time (about an hour or so) but it's well worth it. The dish can be frozen for 2 to 3 months and it gets better when you reheat it.

2 whole boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 ounce sliced boiled ham
1 1/2 ounces sliced swiss cheese

  • Stir in the remaining flour with a wire whisk; blend well.
  • Add light cream; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth.
