Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/4 cup Swiss, Monterey Jack or part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons ham, chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, (1-1 1/4 pounds total)
1 egg white
1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Use a baking sheet with sides & lightly coat it with cooking spray. Mix cheese, ham, mustard & pepper in a small bowl. Cut a horizontal slit along the thin, long edge of a chicken breast half, nearly through to the opposite side. Open up the breast & place one-fourth of the filling in the center. Close the breast over the filling, pressing the edges firmly together to seal. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts & filling. Lightly beat egg white with a fork in a medium bowl. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow glass dish. Hold each chicken breast half together & dip in egg white, then dredge in breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts; cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Place the chicken, browned -side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center or until an instant-read thermometer registers 170°F, about 20 minutes.
