Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Coat an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, beat egg with just enough water to thin it a little. Set aside.
Step 3
Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl, and stir in dried basil. Set aside.
Step 4
Place 1 chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet until about 1/4 inch thick, being careful not to pound holes in chicken; repeat with 2nd breast.
Step 5
Remove plastic wrap and place 1 slice of ham on each breast.
Step 6
Place one piece of cheese on the narrow end of each breast. Roll breast up jelly-roll fashion, and secure ends with toothpicks.
Step 7
Dip breast in egg mixture and coat all sides. Roll in bread crumbs until well coated. Repeat with 2nd breast.
Step 8
Place in baking dish and LIGHTLY spray with cooking spray (or an oil mister). This will help coating brown.
Step 9
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
Step 10
Remove toothpicks and place on plates. Top with some heated pasta sauce and some shredded cheese to garnish; serve.
