Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of thinly sliced ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, without cutting all the way through.
- Place 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of Swiss cheese inside each chicken breast pocket.
- In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve hot with mashed potatoes or salad and enjoy!
