2 (1-ounce) slices deli ham, cut in half

4 (2x1x1/4-inch) slices Land O Lakes® Hot Pepper Monterey Jack Cheese

1/4 cup seasoned dried bread crumbs

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon paprika

1 Half Stick (1/4 cup) Land O Lakes® Butter, melted

Rice

1 (6-ounce) box long grain rice and vermicelli with chicken flavored sauce

2 cups boiling water

1 tablespoon Land O Lakes® Butter

How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Cut a 3-inch slit in each chicken breast to form a pocket. Insert 1/2 slice ham and 1 slice cheese. Place onto large plate.

    Heat oven to 400°F.

  4. STEP 4

    Combine all rice ingredients, including spice packet, in greased 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Cover; bake 10 minutes. Uncover; stir. Place chicken breasts over rice. Continue baking, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until chicken reaches at least 165°F and juices run clear when pierced with fork.
