1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped broccoli, cooked
2 green onions, minced
4 oz. (1 c.) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
3 lg. whole chicken breasts, skinned, boned, and cut in half

Drain broccoli well and put in large bowl with green onions and half the cheese and mix. Pound each chicken breast to 1/4 inch and top each with 1 piece ham and an equal amount of broccoli mixture. Carefully fold chicken in; half over broccoli filling; neatly tuck ends under. In pie plate or on waxed paper, combine bread crumbs, parsley and paprika. Brush chicken with margarine, using about 1 tablespoon. Coat chicken with seasoned bread crumbs. In 9x13 inch baking dish, lace chicken.
