Ham and Cheese Chicken Rolls

From Full Bellies, Happy Kids

4 Chicken breasts
4 slices of cheese (I used pepperjack, the original calls for swiss. You can substitute anything)
4 thinly sliced pieces of ham
1 tsp paprika
6 tbsp breadcrumbs
2 tbsp parmesan
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
3 tbsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Pound each chicken breast to a 1/4" thickness (I usually place the breasts into freezer bags for this to cut down on the mess)

Layer the cheese and ham onto each chicken breast. Roll each breast to enclose the filling and secure with a toothpick.

Mix together dry ingredients. Dip the chicken rolls in butter and roll in the crumb mixture.

Place rolls seam down in a baking dish and bake for 25 minutes.

Comments: This is just a super easy version of chicken cordon bleu, which is a favorite of mine. It got the approval from every member of the family. Remember to remove the toothpicks before serving, or at least warn everyone. J swears I am trying to kill him by hiding toothpicks in things.
