Instructions

1. In a frying pan, brown the chicken on both sides until almost cooked through; set aside.

3. Combine the crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, garlic salt and salt.
4. Mix in the butter pieces.
5. Stir in the broccoli florets.
6. Place chicken breasts in a buttered baking dish.
7. Sprinkle the top of the chicken breast halves with half of the shredded Swiss cheese, the ham cubes, the bread crumb mixture, and the remaining shredded cheese (in that order).
8. Cover and bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
