4 slices ham

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 7 x 11" baking dish with non stick cooking spray (I use butter)

Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness.

Sprinkle each piece of chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Place 1 slice of cheese and 1 slice of ham on top of each breast. Roll up each breast and secure with a toothpick. Dip in egg, roll in breadcrumbs. Place in baking dish and top each piece with pat of butter.

Bake for 30 - 35 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from oven and place 1/2 slice cheese on top of each breast. Return to oven for 3 - 5 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove toothpicks and serve immediately. Good served with rice and corn.
