Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• 1 package thin sliced boneless skinless chicken breast (i use purdue scallopini)
• 1/4 lb sliced ham (i get virginia baked ham from the deli)
• 1/4 lb swiss cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 1/2-2 cups italian seasoned breadcrumbs

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350.
• 2 combine egg and milk in small bowl and place breadcrumbs on plate.
• 3 dip chicken into egg/milk mixture then coat one side with breadcrumb mixture and place breadcrumb side down in 13 x 9 glass baking dish.
• 4 after all pieces are in baking dish place cheese then ham on each piece of chicken. (i usually tear the slice of cheese in half so that when i put it on the chicken it covers the whole thing - any remaining cheese or ham i just divide between the chicken).
• 5 roll chicken making sure to keep cheese and ham tucked inside and place crease side down in dish.
• 6 top with remaining breadcrumbs.
