Ingredients

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6 slices fully cooked ham
6 slices Swiss cheese
2 eggs, beaten
2 Tbsp. chicken broth or dry white wine
1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. butter
1 c. fine bread crumbs
2 c. fresh sliced mushrooms

Preparation

Rinse chicken, pat dry.
Place each breast between 2 pieces of wax paper.
Working from center to edges, lightly pound with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/8 inch thickness.
Place 1 slice each of ham and cheese on chicken, folding to fit if necessary.
Starting from the short side, roll up jelly roll style and secure with a toothpick.
In a shallow dish, stir beaten eggs and 2 Tbsp. wine or broth.
Roll each breast in flour, dip in egg mixture and coat with breadcrumbs.
