Ingredients:
4 each boneless chicken breasts
4 each swiss cheese slices, thin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp allspice
1/2 cup cracker crumbs, crushed
2 tbsp water
4 each ham slices, thin
2 tbsp flour
1/4 tsp pepper
1 each egg, slightly beaten
3 tbsp shortening
Instructions:
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.
Servings: 4
Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
