Tips
- Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to evenly pound the chicken breasts to the required thickness. This ensures they cook quickly and evenly.
- Secure the rolled chicken with toothpicks to keep the ham and cheese inside during cooking.
- For a golden crust, you can quickly broil the chicken for the last few minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.
