Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 whole boneless chicken breasts (all fat and skin removed)
1/8 tsp dried basil leaves, crushed
1/8 tsp salt
dash ground pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
6 slice sliced cooked ham (on the thin side)
2 tsp lemon juice
sprinkle of paprika
sprinkle of additional garlic powder

Steps:

1. Place chicken breasts skinned side down on cutting board; pound to 1/4 inch thickness.
2. In a small custard cup, combine basil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle on chicken. Place 3 slices of ham on each chicken breast to cover; roll up carefully lengthwise with ham inside (as snuggly as you can).
3. Spray 9 X 13 inch pan with cooking spray and gently place chicken rolls in pan. Drizzle with lemon juice, sprinkle with a light sprinkly of garlic powder and paprika. I use a little more lemon juice than the recipe calls for so there is a little more that gets under the chicken roll.
4. Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken is tender and lightly golden brown. Cool. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight. Cut into 1/4 inch slices. Makes about 24 slices.
5. Usually I double this recipe as it goes quickly and I make it the day before I'm going to serve it so the flavors blend together well.
6. Enjoy !!!
