- Place one slice ham and one slice cheese on each breast.
- Evenly distribute cream cheese between chicken breasts, spreading on top of the ham.
- Roll up carefully, securing with toothpicks.
- It is important to secure the ends so the cream cheese doesn't leak out!
- Just close the ends by securing them with toothpicks.
- Lightly sprinkle each piece with salt, then dip in the egg.

I have tended to stay away from cooking this dish, because I thought it would be difficult and time consuming. Boy was I wrong. This recipe was easy and extrememly good. My DH was really impressed. The only thing I did different was use crushed rice krispies instead of crackers, and that was only because I was out of crackers.

the bestthank you I was looking for a recipe like this,since my boyfriend kept asking me to make it for him ..glad I found this one easy and fast ....there is a trick to the tooth picks..first time had to be careful to find them before eating...so second time I made used metal tooth picks and that worked better..
