Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
• 2 slices deli ham (3/4 ounce each)
• 2 slices Swiss cheese (3/4 ounce each)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons 2% milk
• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; top each with a slice of ham and cheese. Roll up and tuck in ends; secure with toothpicks.

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, paprika and pepper. In another bowl, whisk egg and milk. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl. Dip chicken in flour mixture, then egg mixture; roll in crumbs.

In a small skillet, brown chicken in oil on all sides. Transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°. Discard toothpicks; drizzle with butter.
