Ingredients

Tyson boneless, skinless chicken breast, 8 pieces

Pepper, 1 tsp

Salt, 1/2 tsp

Swiss Cheese, 2/3 cup, shredded

Philadelphia Light cream cheese, 4 tbsp

Bread crumbs, dry, grated, plain, 1/2 cup

Thyme, ground, 2 tbsp

Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 3 tbsp

Ham, 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.
