 Categories: Poultry, Cheese, Pork, Rice, Dairy
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
     12 oz (2 pkg) long grain & wild
           - rice mix
      2 c  Sliced fresh mushrooms
    1/4 c  Sliced green onions
      2 cl Garlic; minced
      2 tb Butter
      2 tb All-purpose flour
      2 c  Half & half
    1/2 c  Shredded Gruyere cheese
      2 tb Dry sherry (opt)
      6    Chicken breast halves;
           - skinned, boned (2 1/2 lb
           - total)
      3 oz Gruyere cheese; in 3" x 1/2"
        x  1/2" sticks
      6 sl (very thin) Black Forest or
           - country ham
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Ground black pepper
    1/3 c  All-purpose flour
      2 lg Eggs, lightly beaten
      2 tb Water
  1 1/2 c  Panko
    1/4 c  Oil
 
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Prepare rice mixes according to package directions. Spread
  cooked rice in the bottom of an ungreased 3-quart baking
  dish.
  
  Meanwhile, for sauce, in a medium saucepan, cook
  mushrooms, green onions, and garlic in hot butter over
  medium heat until tender. Stir in the 2 tablespoons flour.
  Gradually stir in half-and-half. Cook and stir until
  thickened and bubbly. Stir in shredded cheese until
  melted. If desired, stir in sherry. Spoon sauce over rice;
  cover and keep warm.
  
  Starting from the thickest side of each chicken breast
  half, make a horizontal slit to, but not through, the
  other side. Wrap each stick of cheese in a slice of ham
  and insert into a slit. Secure with wooden toothpicks.
  Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
  
  Place the 1/3 cup flour in a shallow dish. In a second
  shallow dish, combine eggs and water. Place panko in a
  third shallow dish. Dip chicken in flour, shaking off
  excess; dip in egg, then in panko, turning to coat.
  
  In an extra-large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil
  over medium heat. Cook chicken, half at a time, in hot oil
  about 4 minutes or until brown on both sides, adding the
  remaining 2 tablespoons oil with the second batch. Remove
  toothpicks. Place chicken on top of sauce.
  
  Bake, covered, for 40 to 45 minutes or until chicken is no
  longer pink.
  
  Makes 6 servings.
