BLUE RIBBON CHICKEN 
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz. each)
2 (1 oz.) slices cooked ham
2 slices Swiss cheese
2 tbsp. seasoned dried bread crumbs
1/8 tsp. paprika
2 tsp. butter, melted

To form a pocket, cut each chicken breast half horizontally, almost but not all the way through. Cut each ham and cheese slice lengthwise in half. Place a slice of ham and cheese in each pocket.

Combine bread crumbs and paprika. Brush chicken with melted butter, then coat with crumbs. In 8x12 inch baking dish, arrange chicken with meatier portions towards edges of dish. Cook, covered with wax paper on high 7 to 9 minutes in microwave oven until juices run clear when chicken is tested with a knife; rotate dish halfway through cooking. Makes 4 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
