Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (4 ounce) chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, not too thick
8 slices swiss cheese (or whatever you like but it should be 2 per breast)
4 slices ham, I used Virginia, use whatever type makes you happy
1 egg
1/4 cup breadcrumbs, I use unseasoned
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, I usually eyeball it
1 teaspoon butter, melted, optional (I think it will make the coating less dry)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with a silicon liner or whatever you like to use.
  • Rinse and pat dry breasts. Layout breast, 1 slice of cheese, 1 slice of ham, then roll from larger end towards pointy end and close with one toothpick. Set aside until all chicken is done up to this point.
  • In a small dish or bowl, slightly beat an egg and set aside.
  • In another small dish or bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, seasoned salt and butter.
  • Dip rolled up chicken in egg, then breadcrumb mixture and place on baking sheet - repeat with rest of chicken.
  • Lay one slice of cheese over each coated chicken breast.
  • Bake approx 20 min, use a thermometer to measure internal temp to be safe.
