Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless, skinless
▢ 8 slices ham thinly sliced
▢ 4 slices Swiss cheese
▢ 1 cup all-purpose flour
▢ 2 teaspoons salt divided
▢ 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
▢ 2 cups breadcrumbs preferably panko
▢ 2 tablespoons butter melted
▢ 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Flatten each chicken breast to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Place 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll up each one tightly; secure with toothpicks.
In a shallow bowl, mix flour with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper.
In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs and melted butter.
Dip each chicken roll in flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken rolls on all sides, about 4 minutes.
Transfer browned chicken rolls to a baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove toothpicks and serve immediately.

Notes

For a more golden finish, broil the chicken rolls for 2-3 minutes after baking.
