  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix the chicken, ham, and egg until well combined. Gradually add bread crumbs until the mixture is no longer sticky and can be shaped into balls. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Shape the chicken mixture around the cheese cubes to make 2-inch balls. Set them on a plate.

  4. 4

    Heat 1 1/2 inches of oil in a deep skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Fry the balls in the hot oil until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and transfer to a baking dish.

  6. 6

    Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and the cheese is soft, about 20 minutes. Let cool briefly before serving.
