There’s chicken and then there’s chicken stuffed with goodness. In this case, chicken stuffed with ham and cheese – and it’s amazing. It’s a fairly simple way to add some oomph to an otherwise plain chicken breast. While this recipe features cheese and ham, we’d encourage you to experiment with other fillings!

- 4 slices of black forest ham
- 4 slices of swiss cheese
- 2 cloves of garlic, pureed.
- 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika

- Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and sprinkle with salt
- Cover chicken with saran wrap and flatten with a rolling pin
- Combine pepper, paprika, 1/2 of the butter and garlic in a small saucepan and stir until butter melts.
- Brush the flattened chicken breast with melted butter before adding two slices of ham and two slices of cheese.
- Using a new pieces of saran wrap, roll the chicken breasts up and seal the saran wrap as tightly as possible.
- Place wrapped chicken breast in fridge for 2-3 hours or in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to allow the chicken to firm up.

- Cook for 1h15m.
