Ingredients

• 3 large chicken thighs
• 1 tsp of dry oregano
• 6 sundried tomatoes (or use a few strips)
• 3 slices of triple smoked ham
• 6 thick slices of Mozzarella cheese.
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp of milk
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 cup of breadcrumbs
• Half cup Flour
• Olive oil

Steps

• Step 1

  Unroll your chicken thighs and flatten them with meat mallet or back of heavy pot (use cling wrap). Flatten quite thin so they are easy to roll.  Leave the plastic underneath.

• Step 2

  Preheat your oven to 160C or 320F.

• Step 3

  Add salt and pepper to thighs along with sprinkled garlic powder and oregano

• Step 4

  Cut two thick pieces of mozzarella cheese.  Place the two pieces of cheese spaced apart on the flatten chicken thigh.  Add a sundried tomato half on each piece of cheese.  Add one slice of smoked ham to cover the cheese, tear to fit if necessary.

• Step 5

  Roll chicken tightly then wrap into cling film squeeze the ends and refrigerate for a short time.

• Step 6

  Make an egg wash by mixing one egg with one tablespoon of milk. Whisk until combined.

• Step 7

  Make a crumbing station. Place one plate for flour on the left, breadcrumbs on another plate on the right, egg wash in the middle.

• Step 8

  Place each piece of chicken in flour coating each piece by rolling it.  Transfer to eggwash, submerge properly and then roll into breadcrumbs.

• Step 9

  In a pan, add some olive oil and brown both sides on low heat.

• Step 10

  Place in preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes at 160C or 320F

• Step 11

  Optional, serve with a little tomato sauce. (see my marinara recipe)

Little Tips

Tomato sauce is optional as the cheese and juices left in the pan can be enough for a sauce. Prepare them in advance and freeze them.
