Ingredients
Tyson boneless, skinless chicken breast, 8 piecesPepper, 1 tsp Salt, 1/2 tspSwiss Cheese, 2/3 cup, shreddedPhiladelphia Light cream cheese, 4 tbspBread crumbs, dry, grated, plain, 1/2 cupThyme, ground, 2 tbspExtra Virgin Olive Oil, 3 tbspHam, extra lean, (5% fat), 1/2 cup, diced
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. 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 oil in another bowl.
3. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large, ovenproof nonstick 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.
4. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 5 to 7 minutes.

    I love this recipe. I've made it several times and it's one of my go-to's when I don't know what to make for dinner - 9/18/10

    ok as written-- i generally skip the cream cheese and just put a slice of swiss cheese and ham on the chicken and then add the breadcrumb mixture - 6/18/21
