- Season both sides of each chicken breast generously with salt and pepper.
- Top each chicken breast with 2 slices of prosciutto or deli ham and 1 ounce of Swiss cheese (or your preferred cheese).

- Lightly coat an 11x7 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the rolled chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle evenly with 1/4 cup of breadcrumbs.

- Let rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
