8 thin slices (4 oz) deli ham
4-8 slices provolone cheese, halved

Flatten chicken to ¼-inch thickness. Place a slice of ham and half a slice of cheese on each piece of chicken. Roll up from a short end side and tuck in ends; secure with a toothpick. In a shallow bowl, combine crumbs, grated cheese and parsley. Pour milk into another bowl. Dip chicken rolls in milk, then roll in crumb mixture.
