Ingredients




4 pieces chicken breast, boneless and skinless
4 pieces ham
4 slices cheddar cheese, (and I sliced it into sticks)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground peppercorn
1/2 cup bread crumbs- add 1/8 tsp paprika and 1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup flour
1 large egg, beaten
8 smalls butter, cubed into pieces (optional)

Preparation

1 Pre-heat oven into 180°C. 2 Gently pound the chicken breast into 1/4 thickness using a meat mallet. 3 Season the chicken meat - sprinkle salt and ground pepper on both sides. 4 Place 1 ham and 2 cheese sticks on top of each breast (but I prefer putting on another 2 cheese sticks! i love cheese!) Roll up each breast an secure with a toothpick. 5 Dredge in flour. Then brush with beaten eggs. Then finally roll in bread crumbs mixture. 6 Brush the baking pan with olive oil, then place the chicken rolls. 7 Bake for about 20 minutes. Then layer each rolls with butter cubes. Let the butter melts on its top, the roll will absorb its flavor and will give a really nice smell. 8 Bake for another 15 minutes. 9 You may serve this your favorite sauce.
