Ingredients
  • 4 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • 1 egg
  • 4 slices swiss cheese
  • 4 slices ham
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 8-12 toothpicks
Instructions

  1. Soak toothpicks for 20 minutes.

  2. Cut the fat off of the chicken.

  3. Cut a pocket in the middle of each piece of chicken.

  4. Add one slice each of ham and cheese into each chicken pocket. If you are using deli sliced ham and cheese, you can use two slices of each in each chicken pocket.

  5. Push the pockets down as hard as you can so nothing falls out. Push toothpicks into chicken to help hold the ham and cheese inside.

  6. Crack one egg into a bowl and beat it.

  7. Cover each chicken breast in flour.

  8. Dip the chicken into the egg and make sure it is completely coated.

  9. Completely coat the egg covered chicken in bread crumbs.

  10. Add vegetable oil to a pan and heat the pan.

  11. Put the chicken into pan and keep moving it around so it won't stick.

  12. Brown the outside of the chicken.

  13. Put the chicken into the oven at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove toothpicks and serve.
