• 6 slices Swiss cheese

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 7x11-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 3

Sprinkle each piece of chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 Swiss cheese slice and 1 ham slice on top of each breast. Roll up each breast, and secure with a toothpick. Place in the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle chicken evenly with bread crumbs.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink, 30 to 35 minutes.

Remove from the oven, and place 1/2 Swiss cheese slice on top of each breast. Return to the oven until cheese has melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks and serve immediately.
