Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 2 oz. thinly sliced smoked ham, divided into 4 portions

- 4 lemon wedges
Preparation:
- Preheat oven to 400*F.
- Coat a baking rack with cooking spray, then place the rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
- Butterfly each piece of chicken by slicing into the breast horizontally so you can open it like a book.
- Lay one quarter of the ham and cheese on one side of each breast, leaving 1/2 inch at edge uncovered, then close each piece.
- In a medium bowl, combine egg whites, buttermilk and mustard and blend until creamy.
- In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
- Gently dip each piece of chicken in the crumb mixture, then into the egg white mixture, then again in the crumb mixture.
