Italian Ham-And-Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

This is a VERY EASY dish to make, I promise. Very elegant dish, as well, and with only about 250 calories per serving. I HIGHLY recommend using good quality prosciutto and Muenster for this. For novice cooks, if you freeze the chicken breasts for a bit before slicing them, they are MUCH easier to slice.
