1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a rack in the middle.
2
Trim any excess fat from the edges of the 4 chicken breasts.
3
One at a time, place chicken breasts between sheets of parchment paper and use a mallet or rolling pin to pound each breast until about 1/4 inch thick. Season with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper on both sides.
4
Place chicken smooth side down on a work surface. Top one half of each breast with a slice of ham and a slice of Gruyère cheese, leaving some space around the edges. Fold chicken breast in half over the ham and cheese, pressing the edges together to seal tightly.
5
Whisk the large egg in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, mix 3/4 cup dry breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley. Place 1/2 cup all-purpose flour on a plate.
6
Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb-parsley mix, ensuring even coverage. Place the coated chicken breasts on a plate.
7
Heat 3 Tbsp of neutral oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook the chicken breasts until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt, if desired.
8
Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven until fully cooked and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°F (74°C), about 20-25 minutes. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
