How to Make Chicken Breasts Stuffed With Ham And Cheese

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally almost all the way through, creating a pocket.
Layer 1-2 slices of ham and 1-2 slices of cheese into each chicken breast pocket.
Close the chicken breasts and secure with toothpicks.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Brush the chicken breasts with the oil mixture.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove toothpicks before serving.
