One egg, beaten

Pound chicken breasts to uniform thickness.
Season with salt and pepper on each side.
Place ham slices and cheese on each breast and roll up, holding it in place with toothpicks.
Dip chicken roll in egg, then in breadcrumbs
Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 to 30 minutes.

Optional Mornay Sauce:

1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. flour
1 c. milk
1/3 c. Parmesan cheese
1/2 - 1 tsp. garlic powder

In small saucepan, melt butter. With a whisk, beat in flour. When mixture bubbles, add milk all at once, stirring with a whisk to avoid lumps. Stir in cheese, garlic powder and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring constantly until it's thick.
