Don’t be fooled by its fancy name—this 5-ingredient dinner couldn’t be easier! Tender chicken breasts get stuffed with chopped ham and shredded Swiss cheese for an unfussy, delicious twist on traditional chicken cordon bleu.

Ingredients

4: large boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lb)

1/2: cup shredded Swiss cheese (2 oz)

1/2: cup finely chopped ham (2 oz)

3: tablespoons butter, melted

3/4: cup Progresso™ Italian style panko crispy bread crumbs

Steps

1 Heat oven to 375°F. To form pocket in each chicken breast, cut 3-inch-long slit in thick side of each breast, cutting into breast about 2 inches and to within 1/2 inch of opposite side.
2 In small bowl, mix cheese and ham. Spoon evenly into pockets in chicken; secure openings with toothpicks.
