When you put it like that... it's pretty easy :)
ingredients
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half (like you’re butterflying, but finish the cut)
12 slices deli honey ham
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
6 slices Swiss or Provolone cheese
Parmesan Cream Sauce (optional)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
½ cup chicken broth
½ tablespoon Dijon mustard {if you like a strong mustard taste, use 1 tablespoon}
¾ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Parsley, for garnish
Salt and pepper, to taste
directions
1- Coat a 9 x 13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2- In a medium bowl, combine the bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons melted butter; set aside.
3- Lay all of the chicken breast halves in a single layer in the bottom of your baking dish – unlike the traditional CCB recipe, there is no second layer of chicken in this dish. Top each breast with two slices of ham and 1 slice of cheese, so that the entire breast is covered. Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top of the chicken.
4- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (clear juices), the cheese is bubbly and the bread crumbs are golden brown. You may want to broil the chicken for a minute or two to really brown the bread crumbs.
5- Remove - top in the sauce (if you like) and enjoy!
