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 chicken is no
longer pink. Discard toothpicks; drizzle with butter.
