1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 chicken breasts, skinned and boned
1 5.5-ounce box seasoned croutons, crushed

Easy

Directions

1. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over chicken; set aside.

2. Combine seasoned crouton crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a large plastic Ziplock bag. Whisk together egg whites and 2 tablespoons water in a shallow bowl.

3. Dip chicken in egg white mixture, and shake gently. Place one breast half in bag; seal and shake to coat. Remove to a lightly greased aluminum foiled lined baking sheet, and repeat with remaining chicken.

4. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes or until chicken is done. Top each breast half with 2 ham slices and one Swiss cheese slice. Bake 5 more minutes or until cheese melts. Serve with honey mustard dressing, if desired.
