CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA 
3 whole, lg. chicken breasts, skinned, boned and halved lengthwise
6 thin slices boiled ham
6 slices process Swiss cheese
1 med. tomato, peeled, seeded and chopped
Dried sage, crushed
1/3 c. fine dry bread crumbs
2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. snipped parsley
1/4 c. butter, melted

Place chicken, boned side up, between two pieces plastic wrap. Working from center, pound lightly to 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches. Remove wrap. Place a ham slice and a cheese slice on each cutlet, cutting to fit within 1/4 inch of edge. Top with some tomato, sprinkle lightly with sage. Fold in sides; roll up jelly roll fashion, pressing to seal well.

Combine crumbs, Parmesan and parsley. Dip chicken into butter, then roll in crumbs. Bake in shallow baking pan at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove to platter. Blend mixture remaining in pan until smooth; serve over chicken.

Serves 6.
