Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices of chicken ham
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Pound each chicken breast to about ¼ inch thickness. Layer with chicken ham and Swiss cheese, then roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  3. Dredge each roll in a mixture of flour, salt, and pepper; dip in beaten eggs; coat with breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear each roll for about 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. For the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour, whisking for one minute; gradually stir in milk until smooth. Mix in Dijon mustard and Parmesan cheese until thickened.
  7. Remove toothpicks from the chicken rolls, slice into rounds, drizzle with sauce, and serve.
