8 slices ham
4 bananas, sliced lengthwise
White pepper & salt to taste
6 tbsp. flour
4 eggs, beaten
6 tbsp. shredded coconut

Pound the boneless chicken breasts flat. Place a slice of ham on the chicken and top with half of a banana. Roll up the chicken breasts and refrigerate to firm. Season the rolled chicken breasts with salt and pepper then roll in flour. Mix coconut and bread crumbs and set aside.

Place the fried chicken rolls on a buttered sheet pan and place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until done.
