Breaded Chicken with Ham 'n' Cheese image

"This recipe was adapted from one I found in an old San Francisco Junior League cookbook," relates Laurie Mitchell from her home in Indianapolis, Indiana. "It's so easy and tastes so good that it's become one of my all-time favorite chicken dishes. I like to serve it with rice pilaf along with some lightly steamed, fresh green beans."

I'm not a big fan of ham, but this dish was still really good. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the cheese was melted and gooey.

The recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used a different type of cheese than the one in the recipe, but it still came out delicious.
