• 2 tbl. melted butter
• 1 tsp. salt

Directions

In a small pot, combine the Lite Cream Cheese, milk, swiss, salt, minced garlic, black pepper and butter over low heat, stirring constantly.

Once hot and bubbly, remove from heat.

Butterfly each chicken breast.

Put 2 slices of ham inside each chicken breast, and add 1-2 spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture. Cover with 1 more slice of ham. Close the chicken breast and secure with 3 toothpicks per chicken breast. Take the chicken breast and dip it into the beaten eggs, and then dip into the bread crumbs, and place in a medium – large baking dish.
