Ham & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts

I made this a couple of nights ago. Making a pocket in the chicken is easy with a good, sharp knife. Browning the chicken in a skillet before baking gives it a golden color and finishing it in the oven ensures it cooks evenly.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup grated Swiss, Monterey Jack, or part-skim Mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp chopped ham
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 boneless chicken breast halves 1 1/4 lbs total
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 tsp olive oil extra virgin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
  • Mix cheese, ham, mustard and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Cut a horizontal slit along the thin, long edge of a chicken breast half, nearly through to the opposite side. Open up the breast and place on-fourth of the filling in the center. Close the breast over the filling, pressing the edges firmly together to seal. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and filling.
  • Lightly beat egg white with a fork in a medium bowl. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow glass dish. Hold each chicken breast half together and dip in egg white, then dredge in breadcrumbs.
  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken breasts; cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Place the chicken, browned-side up, on the prepared baking sheet Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center or until an instant-read thermometer registers 170 degrees. about 20-30 minutes.
