Chicken Breast Stuffed with Ham and Cheese

Chicken breast stuffed with ham and cheese is a simple yet festive dish: juicy meat with melted cheese and ham inside.

1. Cut a deep pocket into the side of the chicken breasts.

2. Put in the ham and the cheese.

3. Secure the opening with a toothpick.

4. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Bake in an oiled tray at 190 °C for 35 minutes, until the meat is cooked through and the top is golden.

6. Remove the toothpick before serving.

Tip: Tossed in flour, egg and breadcrumbs it can be made into a cordon-bleu-style dish with a crisp coating.
