Ingredients

  • 16 oz boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 oz chopped ham
  • 1 1/3 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp ground thyme
  • 1/2 tbsp parsley
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
  • 2 tbsps reduced fat cream cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400° F (200° C).
  • Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and salt. Combine cheese and cream cheese in a bowl.
  • Combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper with breadcrumbs, parsley (or thyme) and 2 teaspoons olive oil in another bowl.
  • Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large, ovenproof non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the chicken until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Move the chicken to the center so all pieces are touching.
  • Spread with the cheese mixture, sprinkle with ham, then top with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer registers 165° F (75° C), 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Note: serve with delicata squash and broccoli.
