INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. Keeping the blade of a sharp knife parallel to the board, make a horizontal slit along the thinner, long edge of the breast, cutting nearly through to the opposite side. Open the breast so it forms two flaps, hinged at the center. Place a piece of provolone on one flap; press the other flap down firmly over the cheese and set aside. Repeat with the remaining breasts. In a shallow dish, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, salt and pepper. In another bowl, lightly beat egg whits with a fork. Holding a stuffed breast together firmly, dip in the egg whites and then roll in the breadcrumb mix. Repeat with the remaining breasts and set aside. In a large, ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Carefully add the chicken and cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Turn the breasts over and place skillet in the oven. Bake about 15 to 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Serve with lemon wedges.
