Ingredients

4 (1 1/4-1 1/2 pounds) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and tenders removed (see Tips & Techniques)
1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
1/3 cup(s) shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
2 tablespoon(s) reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup(s) coarse dry whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see Tips & Techniques)
1 tablespoon(s) chopped fresh parsley or thyme
4 teaspoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/4 cup(s) (about 1 ounce) chopped ham

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle chicken with 1/4 teaspoon pepper and salt. Combine cheese and cream cheese in a bowl. Combine the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper with breadcrumbs, parsley (or thyme), and 2 teaspoons oil in another bowl. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large, ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Move the chicken to the center so all pieces are touching. Spread with the cheese mixture, sprinkle with ham, then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 5 to 7 minutes.
