Cut a pocket into chicken breasts by placing your non-cutting hand on top of the breast. Insert your knife into the thickest part of the breast. Using a sweeping motion, slice into the breast until the knife reaches the middle.

Stuff one slice of ham and one slice of cheese into each pocket, then press down on the chicken breast to seal it up. You can use toothpicks if you wish to secure the pocket closed.

Set up your breading station by putting the flour into 1 container, the beaten eggs into another container, and the breadcrumbs into another.

Season the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Mix the bread crumbs with parsley, Parmesan, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the melted butter and mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated. The butter will help the crust brown.
