Lay the slices of ham flat and smear the fresh pesto on to the ham (use as much as you want), place the cheese on top and wrap the ham up so that it will fit inside the pocket in the chicken breast you have made.

Place the ham pesto and cheese into the pocket you have made in the chicken breasts so that it fits inside.
