How to Make Avocado Chicken

  1. Gently pound 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts to an even thickness (about ½ inch).
  2. Dredge the chicken breasts in 1 cup all-purpose flour, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Dip each floured breast into 2 large eggs, lightly beaten.
  4. Coat the chicken in 1 ½ cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs.
  5. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
  6. Sauté the chicken for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  7. Arrange the chicken breasts in a lightly oiled 13x9 inch baking dish.
  8. Top each chicken breast with 1 slice ripe avocado, 1 slice tomato (about ¼ inch thick), and 1 slice of deli ham.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes.
  10. Top each breast with 1 slice of Swiss cheese and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
