Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices ham
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60 grams)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (120 grams)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (25 grams)
- Cooking oil, for frying
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit in each chicken breast to create a pocket for stuffing.
- Place a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham inside each pocket.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper.
- In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
- In a third shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Then dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Finally, coat the chicken with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the 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.
