4 ea Boneless Chicken Breasts
4 ea Swiss Cheese slices, thin

1/4 t Allspice
1/2 c Cracker crumbs, crushed
2 T Water
4 ea Ham slices, thin

Wash and dry chicken breast, slit one side open to form a pocket for the
ham and cheese. Place one slice of ham and one of the cheese into the
pocket. Secure with wooden toothpicks.
Mix salt, pepper, flour and allspice. Coat chicken with the mixture.
Dip breasts into the beaten egg, and then into the cracker crumbs. Melt

Reduce heat and add water, cover and cook until done, about 45 minutes.
Remove the cover during the last 2 or 3 minutes to crisp the meat.
