Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to about 0.25-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
• Place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on one half of each pounded chicken breast.
• Fold the other half of the chicken breast over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. You can secure with toothpicks if needed.
• Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.
• Dredge each stuffed chicken breast first in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
• Heat vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
• Sear the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
• Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks if used.
