Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredients You'll Need
4 ea Boneless Chicken Breasts
4 ea Swiss Cheese slices, thin
1/2 t Salt
1/4 t Allspice
1/2 c Cracker crumbs, crushed
2 T Water
4 ea Ham slices, thin
2 T Flour
1/4 t Pepper
1 ea Egg, slightly beaten
3 T Shortening
Directions
Wash and dry chicken breast, slit one side open to form a pocket for the ham and cheese.
Place one slice of ham and one of the cheese into the pocket. Secure with wooden
toothpicks. Mix salt, pepper, flour and allspice. Coat chicken with the mixture. Dip
breasts into the beaten egg, and then into the cracker crumbs. Melt shortening in a large
skillet (cast iron best) and brown the breasts. Reduce heat and add water, cover and cook
until done, about 45 minutes. Remove the cover during the last 2 or 3 minutes to crisp the
meat.
