Jump to Recipe

I have been looking for easy family dinners that everyone will eat. By the end of the day, my brain can’t seem to make anything too complex with all the other things it has to remember all day long:) I actually used to love these from the frozen aisle as a kid. I decided to make my own, healthier version! They were easy and pretty quick to make. They take only a few ingredients too!

You may think you have messed up or that the chicken is too sticky, but I promise it comes off the parchment! If you want to set your tray in the freezer for a few minutes after you have flattened it, you can though.

Here is what you will need:

  • Ground Chicken
  • Deli Ham
  • Swiss Cheese – I used thin sliced
  • Egg
  • Panko Breadcrumbs
  • Spices
