1. 1
   Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. 2
   In a shallow bowl, beat egg with just enough water to thin it a little. Set aside.
3. 3
   Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl, and stir in dried basil. Set aside.
4. 4
   Place 1 chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet until about 1/4 inch thick, being careful not to pound holes in chicken; repeat with 2nd breast.
5. 5
   Remove plastic wrap and place 1 slice of ham on each breast.
6. 6
   Place one piece of cheese on the narrow end of each breast. Roll breast up jelly-roll fashion, and secure ends with toothpicks.
7. 7
   Dip breast in egg mixture and coat all sides. Roll in bread crumbs until well coated. Repeat with 2nd breast.
8. 8
