Eating gluten free shouldn't mean boring or plain recipes. This elegant recipe will make you feel like you're at a five star restaurant.

6 boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tbsp (15 mL) butter

2 cups (500 mL) Rice Chex* cereal

1 tsp (5 mL) garlic salt

2 tsp (10 mL) dried basil leaves

1 egg

1/2 cup (125 mL) milk

6 slices gluten-free sliced cooked ham

6 slices gluten-free Provolone cheese

1/2 cup (125 mL) gluten-free flour blend

Toothpicks (for securing rolled chicken)

Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with butter.
In food processor, place cereal, garlic salt and basil. Cover; process until finely ground like flour. Set aside. In small bowl, beat egg and milk; set aside. Layer 1 piece of ham and 1 piece of cheese on each chicken breast. Roll up and secure each with a toothpick so that cheese and ham is enclosed within chicken. Coat each rolled chicken breast with gluten-free flour blend, then egg mixture, and then cereal mixture. Place in baking dish.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes. Serve with cheesy mashed potatoes and your favourite vegetable or salad.
