2. Lay the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap.
3. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to a 1/4 thickness.

5. Divide the chicken into 2 pieces.
6. Lay 2 slices of cheese on each piece of chicken, followed by a piece of ham, and 2 more slices of cheese, leaving 1/2 margin on all sides to help seal the roll.
7. Tuck in the sides of the breast& roll up tight like a jelly roll.
8. Squeeze the log gently to seal, if necessary with wooden toothpicks.
9. Season the flour with garlic, salt and pepper; spread out on wax paper or on a flat dish.
