Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line your baking sheet and set up a dredging station: flour in one bowl, beaten eggs mixed with milk in the second, and crumbs plus Parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in the third.
Assembly
- Place a butterflied chicken breast between plastic wrap and gently pound until about 1/4 inch thick. Season lightly with 1/4 tsp salt and a pinch of pepper.
- Spread 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard over the pounded chicken. Lay one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on top, leaving a small border for sealing.
- Tightly roll the chicken around the filling, tucking in ends. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine so the roll holds in the oven.
Breading
- Dust the roll in flour, dip into the egg wash, then press into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture until evenly coated. Repeat with remaining breasts.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear rolls for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. This step is optional.
- Transfer to the preheated 375°F oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F in the thickest part. Remove toothpicks before serving.
Notes
For ultra-crispy crust, use panko instead of standard breadcrumbs. Assemble rolls, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours before breading.
