  • 3
    On top of chicken/ham place 2 pieces of cheese, again overlapping.

    Carefully roll up the chicken/ham/cheese starting at one end. Will look short and fat. Use a toothpick to hold together.

    Dip in the water and then roll in the bread crumbs, coating completely. Place in a 13x9 inch bake pan (you can spray with cooking spray to allow easier exit of rolls) and after all are rolled up bake for 30 to 35 min or until golden and the cheese melts out the sides a little. Serve 2 rolls per person as main dish.
