I tried to make a recipe with items that most of you will have on hand. It's very simplified, but tasty!
1 lb uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 oz extra lean sliced ham
2 light mozzarella string cheese sticks
1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Cover pan with aluminium foil and spray with Pam. First, and most difficult, in this recipe is to flatten the chicken breasts. I am sure that most of you have more sophisticated kitchen equipment than I do, making this part a bit easier. I laid the chicken breast between two pieces of wax paper and used the back of a heavy ice cream scoop to pound it flat. You'll want to flatten the breast out to about 1/2 inch or less. Next, cut the ham slices into strips and evenly distribute them among the chicken breasts. Lay the ham strips right in the middle of the chicken breasts. Cut the cheese sticks in half, and lay on top of the ham. Fold up the chicken breasts, like you would a burrito, with the chicken covering the entire outside. Roll the wrap in the bread crumbs and set in the pan. Bake for 25- 30 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Makes 4 servings.

Very easy and yummy! I partially thaw the chicken breast and "butterfly" the meat like a pork chop then stuff it with the ham & cheese!
ReplyDeleteEasy and delicious. I appreciated the "butterfly" method since I do not have a heavy-duty ice cream scoop and was getting poor results.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
