- Transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish and dot with remaining butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
- Serve with sour cream mixed with a few drops of lemon juice, and season with dash of salt and white pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Cut breasts in half and pound thin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place ½ slice cheese, ½ slice ham and another ½ slice cheese on top of each breast half. Fold over and pound each edge to seal.
