Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 - 2 1/2 lbs chicken breasts (I used two enormous breasts that weighed over a lb each)
  • 8 thin slices Monterrey jack cheese
  • 2 large slices of Black Forest ham (each sliced in half)
  • 1/4 cup chopped green chile
  • toothpicks
  • garlic powder
  • kosher salt
  • freshly cracked pepper
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2-3 tablespoons panko crumbs

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to create a thinner breast. Depending on the thickness, pound the breasts to a uniform size. If your breasts are smaller initially, you may simply need to pound them out without slicing them first.
  • Sprinkle each side of the chicken pieces generously with garlic, salt and pepper. Top each thinned chicken breast with a slice of cheese, then ham, then more cheese and a tablespoon green chile spread across the cheese. Roll the chicken up and pin each roll with two toothpicks.
  • Mix together the Parmesan and the panko crumbs and then sprinkle generously over the chicken. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the chicken is cooked. The time will vary based on the thickness of the chicken. Enjoy!
