Very Good! I used pepper jack cheese instead of swiss and used shake n bake in stead of bread cumbs............My boys loved it and ask for ir all the time.

We both loved this. I changed it up a bit & slice up the ham & use shredded cheese to mix it up and then place on the chicken. Tastes wonderful.
