Ingredients
  • 2 skinless Boneless chicken breasts -- halved

  • 1/2 teaspoons Dried thyme
  • 2 oz Reduced-fat swiss cheese

Directions
  1. 1
    1. Preheat oven to 400F (204&# 194;°C). Place each chicken breast half between two pieces of waxed paper and pound to 1/4-inch thickness. 2. Spread mustard down center of chicken. Sprinkle with thyme. Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham. Roll up jelly-roll style, tucking in sides of ham and chicken to seal. Secure with skewers or large toothpicks. 3. Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Brush chicken with melted margarine; roll in crumb mixture. Place in 9- by 9-inch baking pan. 4. Bake (204ðC) at 400F 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350; bake until chicken is cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove skewers. Serve immediately. Gail Shermeyer
