Crispy Ham and Swiss Stuffed Chicken Breast

Crispy Hand Swiss Stuffed Chicken Breast

Golden brown and crunchy on the outside, gooey and cheesy on the inside, you will be surprised at how something so easy can taste so good.  1 serving.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon olive oil

4 oz boneless chicken breast

1 thin slice low sodium deli ham

1 tablespoon shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese

1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions:

Heat oven to 375*F.  Place the breadcrumbs and oil in a small bowl.  Stir to combine and microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring each time-until golden brown, about 45 seconds total.  Set aside.

Cut a pocket into each breast by making a horizontal cut from the thick side making sure not to cut through the opposite side.  Stuff the ham and cheese into the pocket and roll the chicken breast pressing the edges to seal.  Use a toothpick if needed.

Place chicken breast on a rimmed baking sheet.  Brush the top of the chicken breast with mustard and sprinkle the browned breadcrumbs over the top.  Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until completely cooked through.
