Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. cut pocket in thickest part of chicken, and stuff each breast with 2 ham-and-cheese rolls. Transfer chicken to plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 20 minutes.

This was ok. I think it would have been better with seasoned breadcrumbs. I liked the other recipe better simply because it had a bit more flavor.
