1. Take out equipment. Heat butter and oil in a large stove top fry pan at medium. Remove filets from chicken and set aside. Butterfly each chicken breast (Place chicken breast on the cutting board with thickest part furthest from you.

2. With a sharp meat knife, slicing away from you, cut horizontally through the breast meat with out cutting all the way through so that you have one large thin piece of breast.)

3. Lay Swiss cheese on half of the breast. Top with ham. Roll up breast starting with the cheese side. Use a tooth pick to secure the end to the roll. Sprinkle flour and paprika onto a piece of wax paper and roll the breast until coated.

4. Place in hot oil, working from the outside of the pan in. Keep turning until all sides are brown. Remove from pan. Pour wine and chicken stock into the pan and completely deglaze (get all the brown bits off of the bottom of the pan).

5. Return chicken to pan. Cover and simmer, at low, turning occasionally. Set timer for 25 minutes.
