Place each chicken breast half on a sheet of waxed paper; flatten ¼ inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine egg and milk; brush both sides of chicken pieces with milk mixture. Place a piece of ham and a piece of cheese in center of each chicken piece. Brush top of cheese slices with milk mixture; fold chicken in half, securing edges with wooden picks (don’t use colored). Dredge chicken in flour; dip in remaining milk mixture and coat well with breadcrumbs. Cover and chill 1 hour.
