Lay the chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove the top sheet of plastic and lay 1 slice of ham neatly over the top to cover the breast and sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the ham and the herb butter. Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll and wrap chicken In to a roll.

Season the flour with salt and pepper. Mix the bread crumbs with thyme, garlic and garlic salt, pepper. Beat together the eggs and season so the flour, the eggs and the crumbs are all seasoned.
Lightly dust the chicken with flour, dip in the egg mixture and gently coat in the bread crumbs. 

Heat some olive oil in a fry pan and lightly fry crumb chicken parcels until lightly browned take out and place in a lightly coated baking pan with olive oil and carefully transfer the crumb chicken parcels onto it. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until browned and cooked through.
