Steps (6)
-
1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
-
2
Mix cheese, ham and Cheezy Ranch dressing in a bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cut a horizontal slit along the thin, long edge of a chicken breast, almost all the way through to the opposite side.
-
3
Open up the pocket and place a quarter of the filling mixture inside. Close the edges of the chicken breast over the filling, pressing together to seal. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and filling.
-
4
Place the egg in one dish and the breadcrumbs mixed with the Cheez-It® cracker crumbs and ranch seasoning mix in another. Holding each piece of chicken carefully, dip into the egg, then press into the breadcrumbs.
-
5
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts, and cook until browned on one side, about 2–3 minutes. Transfer the chicken, browned side up, to the prepared baking sheet.
-
6
Bake until the chicken is cooked through or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
