Ingredients:
1 egg
1/2 c. Italian-flavored bread crumbs
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1 1/4 lbs. total), pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
4 square slices (4 oz.) Swiss cheese
4 slices (1/4 lb.) deli ham
Nonstick cooking spray

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  Coat a 7x11 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Beat the egg in a shallow dish.  Place the bread crumbs in another shallow dish. 

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.  Place 1 cheese slice and 1 ham slice on top of each chicken breast.  Roll up and secure each breast with a toothpick; dip in the beaten egg then in the bread crumbs, coating completely.  Place the chicken roll-ups in the baking dish then coat lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until no pink remains in the chicken and the coating is golden.  Remove the toothpicks before serving.
