It's nice to surprise the family with special meals like this during the week. I usually double the recipe so we can enjoy leftovers the next day. —Martha Stine, Johnstown, Pennsylvania
Ingredients
-
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
-
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
-
6 slices thinly sliced deli ham
-
6 slices part-skim mozzarella cheese, halved
-
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
-
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs
-
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
-
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
-
4 tablespoons butter, divided
Directions
-
1.
Preheat oven to 350°. Flatten the chicken breasts with a meat mallet to 1/8-in. thickness; sprinkle with sage. Place ham, mozzarella cheese and tomato down the center of each; roll up chicken from a long side, tucking in ends. Secure with toothpicks.

2.
In a shallow bowl, toss bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese and parsley. In a shallow microwave-safe dish, microwave 3 tablespoons butter until melted. Dip chicken in butter, then roll in crumb mixture. Place in a greased 11x7-in. baking dish, seam side down. Melt remaining butter; drizzle over top.

3.
Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°, 40-45 minutes. Discard toothpicks before serving.
