Swiss Mushroom Chicken

By Lorena_321

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 egg
• 1 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers (about 25 crackers)
• 3/4 t. salt
• 1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 2 T. butter, divided
• 4 slices ham
• 4 slices Swiss cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Flatten chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg. Combine cracker crumbs and salt in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken in egg, then in crumbs; set aside.
In a large ovenproof skillet, saute mushrooms in 1 T. butter until tender; remove and set aside. In the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Add chicken; cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Top each chicken breast half with a ham slice, mushrooms and a cheese slice. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
