I'm not a huge fan of ham, so I used thinly sliced prosciutto instead. It was just as delicious, if not more so.

I served this with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal. The chicken was the star of the show, but the sides complemented it nicely.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe and it worked perfectly. The chicken cooked evenly and the breading stayed on well.
