Directions

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Pound chicken breasts to ¼-inch thickness with a meat mallet (or a heavy skillet). Spread each chicken breast with ½ teaspoon of mustard.
WRAP a slice of ham around each cheese strip and place one in the center of each breast. Fold the short ends over ham and cheese and roll up, using a toothpick to securely fasten together.
COAT an ovenproof skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken rolls to cook, turning, until outsides are browned. Add low-sodium chicken broth to skillet and place it in the oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through to center.
REMOVE toothpicks and serve with broth poured over top.
