This recipe is a classic French dish that features tender chicken breasts filled with ham and melted cheese, coated in breadcrumbs, and baked to perfection. This dish is not only delicious but also easy to make, making it a great choice for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F.
Next, prepare your chicken breasts by pounding them to an even thickness. Lay a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast and fold the chicken over to enclose the filling.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumbs, making sure to coat each chicken breast evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted. Serve hot and enjoy!
