Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, butterflied
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground whole black peppercorn
  • 4 slices german Limburger cheese
  • 8 slices german black forest ham
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
  • fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Season each butterflied chicken breast with paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper on all sides. Lie each piece flat on a cutting board; place 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of cheese inside each. Fold over to seal the chicken breast. Insert a wooden toothpick at each end to seal.
  • Dredge chicken breasts in flour, egg, and then bread crumbs. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Dot with vegetable oil and bake until chicken reaches 180 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
