Crispy breaded chicken stuffed with ham and Swiss cheese — a Québec favourite. This classic dish features a pounded chicken breast wrapped around sliced ham and melty Gruyère or Swiss cheese, then breaded and baked until golden. The cross-section reveal of the melted cheese oozing out is always a showstopper at the dinner table.

👨‍🍳Chef's Notes

Bring to Room Temperature

“Take chicken out of the fridge 20-30 minutes before cooking. Cold chicken straight from the fridge cooks unevenly — the outside overcooks while the centre stays underdone.”
