Havarti Stuffed Chicken

This is like a Chicken Cordon Blue but I changed it a bit to have a different crust and a Dill Havarti that I really enjoy. It really adds something and I love how it turns out. This time I served it with stir fried veggies and some roasted potatoes. Makes a very nice dinner and just takes a bit of prep and you are good to go.

Havarti Stuffed Chicken

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded out

3 Tbs butter, melted in a shallow dish
3/4 c bread crumbs
1/4 c Parmesan cheese

1/4 tsp salt and pepper
2 slices good quality ham
2 sticks of cheese, preferably Havarti or Swiss

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Between two pieces of plastic wrap place the chicken breasts and pound them out so that they are a unified thickness and will be better for rolling up. In a shallow dish combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Place the meat and cheese on what would be the non skin side of the chicken and roll it up narrow end first. Secure with a few toothpicks and place in the butter. Once the roll up is coated with butter, turn it in the bread crumb mixture and place in a pie plate. Drizzle the remaining butter over the chicken breast and put in the oven for 30-40 minutes until golden and done through. Remove the toothpicks and serve with your desired sides.
