Halve 3 large chicken breasts.

With a meat mallet, pound chicken from the center out to 5 x 3 inches each.

Place a thin slice of boiled ham on each pounded piece of chicken.

Place a half slice of mozzarella, cut to fit on top of each slice of ham.

Top each with some seeded chopped tomato (1 medium tomato for entire recipe).

Top each with a dash of sage.

Tuck in sides and roll up jelly roll style, pressing to seal well.

1/3 c bread crumbs

2 Tbsp Parmesan

2 Tbsp parsley

Dip chicken in:

4 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted

Roll chicken in bread crumb mixture.

Place chicken rolls in a shallow baking pan.

Bake @ 350 for 40 – 45 minutes.
