  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180°C) and flatten the chicken breasts. Tip for flattening the breasts: Place in a plastic bag (the zipper type for freezing) and hit with a frying pan or rolling pin until flat.
  • Stuff the chicken breasts with two slices of cheese, then 2 slices of ham, and finally 2 slices of cheese and roll up. Use a toothpick if necessary to hold the shape.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs with thyme, finely chopped garlic, melted butter, and salt and pepper. Beat the eggs. Also season the flour with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge the chicken rolls first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs.
  • Place in the oven until the chicken breasts are cooked, about 20 minutes.
  • Alternatively, before placing the chicken breasts in the oven, you can fry them in a bit of butter and then finish cooking in the oven for 13-15 minutes.
