Crispy breaded chicken stuffed with ham and Swiss cheese — a Québec favourite. This classic dish features a pounded chicken breast wrapped around sliced ham and melty Gruyère or Swiss cheese, then breaded and baked until golden. The cross-section reveal of the melted cheese oozing out is always a showstopper at the dinner table.
