Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken breasts on wax paper and pound each with the flat side of a cleaver or butcher’s knife until they’re ~¼ thick.

Step 2

Place 2 strips of ham and cheese on each chicken breast, sprinkle with tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3

Roll up each breast with the ham and cheese in the middle, holding them together with toothpicks.

Step 4

Whisk together the egg and flour, spread on the top and sides of each chicken breast (but not the bottom!), then sprinkle bread crumbs over each and chill them thoroughly (~30 minutes) in the refrigerator.

Step 6

Bake for 25-30 minutes at 375-degrees or until each side is golden brown and tender. Drain on a paper towel and serve on a warm platter.
