Recipe Ingredients
4 ea
Boneless Chicken Breasts
4 ea
Swiss Cheese slices, thin
1/2 ts
Salt
1/4 ts
Allspice
1/2 c
Cracker crumbs, crushed
2 tb
Water
4 ea
Ham slices, thin
2 tb
Flour
1/4 ts

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.
