This was extremely tasty! I used honey ham and low fat swiss cheese. I also reduced the butter and added some fresh black pepper. Served this with white and wild rice mixture (plain) and some baby carrots. A delicious dinner that I will make again and again! -Christina

Overall, this was a tasty recipe. The sauce did turn out really thick and most of the cheese melted out of the chicken while cooking, so I'll make some adjustments for next time.

I had some left over ham and needed a recipe to use it up and am so glad I found this one!!!! This was delicous!!!!! I added 1/2 cup of white wine to the sauce. I like lots of sauce and next time I will double the sauce.

I must have had the heat too hight? The sauce came out really thick and it seemed it could use more liquid. This is the first time I tried the recipe and I had problems with the chicken too - when I pounded it out - it broke apart? Any suggestions would be great! But all in all it was that bad - just the cook and her preparation I guess lol!

this was good. i didn't care for the sauce and maybe it was just because my chicken breasts were on the lager side but i had to bake mine (just 350 cover w/foil for about 15 min w/a few splashes on chkn broth) after browning so i didn't burn it and made sure in was dine through. thanks for the recipe!
