Notes
Feel free to use all chicken stock in place of the wine.
If using wine, use a dry wine like Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, or Sauvingon Blanc.
The number of slices of ham and cheese you need will depend upon how large your chicken breasts are and how large your slices of cheese and ham are. You want to just about cover the entire surface of the chicken breast with both the ham and cheese. Thin slices are best, but feel free to use leftover ham from a baked ham.
The amount of time you need to cook your chicken will be determined bases on the SIZE of your chicken breast. It is best to use an digital thermometer for the most accurate cook time, or cook until the juices are clear.
