This version is easy since it uses the chicken cutlets which are much thinner than the whole breast - thus no pounding - and the ingredients are layered instead of rolled. It all came together accidentally tonight when I realized the cutlets were too small to roll. My family loved it...I hope you will too!

- 6 boneless , skinless chicken breast cutlets
- 0.5 teaspoons salt

Place 3 cutlets side by side in the prepared pan and season with salt and pepper. Top with overlapping ham slices, starting 1/4 inch away from the edges of the cutlets. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese over ham. Lay remaining 3 cutlets side by side on top, covering all the Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle flour on top, spreading with hands to cover.

Bake in the preheated oven until cutlets are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Passover Pumpkin Muffins
These Passover pumpkin muffins are absolutely fabulous! I have made them many times and my kids can not tell that they are for Passover and not 'regular.' A true family favorite!
Sweet Noodle Kugel
This kugel recipe is the same style of kugel we'd get in a New York City area Jewish deli, and that my relatives would make for holidays. There seems to be endless variations of this noodle pudding now, but for me this is the authentic original version.
Chef John's Succotash
This may be America's oldest vegetable recipe, coming from a Narragansett Indian word, 'msickquatash,' which, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, means 'boiled corn kernels.' When most of you hear the word succotash, you probably don't think of a delicious vegetable side dish, you probably think of the catchphrase, 'Sufferin' succotash!' But succotash really is a great and very underrated recipe.
