    Chicken Roll ups with ham and cheese

    A couple of weeks ago, I came up with some fun food.

    I had stumbled upon this dish by chance, and it is fun to make.

    You see, I have been going through a whole lot of time limits recently, somehow I am always out of time.

    So, the other day I had defrosted some chicken breasts and of course some Ham slices, the plan was to make my mum's rolled up Cordon Bleu version.

    Somehow we were craving comfort food and the Cordon Bleu is a frequent first choice in this situation.

    However, that day I was surprised by a call from a young Journalist from India Today, a popular weekly Magazine here.

    The day had to be reorganize and I had to whip up something quickly.

    There was little to no time to figure out what to make.

    I pulled out flour, egg and bread crumbs and sprinkle over the chicken roll ups with ham an cheese, and drizzled some olive oil and Marjoram.

    I should have known this would be the second surprise of the day!

    The comforting flavor facet isn't the only plus point of the chicken roll ups with ham and cheese, they are also easily and quickly made!

    You can either serve them as a Main with various salads, vegetables and other sides.

    You can also make them for fun when you are craving for a great meaty snack while playing Assassins Creed on the PlayStation 3.

      Chicken breast prepared with cheese and ham must have tastes particularly tender and juicy.
