• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup butter flavored cracker, crushed (about 25 crackers)
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt (or use seasoned salt for extra flavor)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄2 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1⁄2 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 4 slices deli ham (or thinly sliced hard salami)
• 4 slices swiss cheese

directions

1. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the egg. Combine cracker crumbs and salt and pepper in another shallow bowl. Dip chicken in egg, then roll in crumbs; set aside.
2. In a large ovenproof skillet, saute onions and mushrooms in 1 tablespoon butter until tender; remove and set aside. In the same skillet, cook chicken over medium heat in remaining butter for 3-4 minutes on each side or until no longer pink.
3. Top each chicken breast half with a ham slice, onions, mushrooms and a cheese slice. Broil 4-6 inches from the heat for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Loved this recipe! My DH said I can make this anytime which puts it into a 10 star rating! Chicken was tender and the ham a nice, smoky touch. Really enjoyed the mushroom/onion mixture which gave it that extra oomph! Made for CC 2014.
