Bring water to a boil in large skillet. Add bouillon and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat. Add chicken breasts and marinate for 15 minutes, turning frequently. Bring to a boil on high heat. Lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, turning every 10 minutes until no longer pink inside. Place a thin slice of ham and a slice of cheese on top of chicken. Cover and cook for another minute or until cheese starts to melt. Pour hot marinara sauce over all and serve.
