Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 slices Ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Place one chicken breast at a time between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
Season each chicken breast on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Lay a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly around the filling, tucking the edges in to create a secure roll. Use toothpicks if necessary to keep the rolls closed.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken roll in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it evenly with breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken rolls seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Transfer the browned chicken rolls to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
Remove toothpicks (if used) before serving. Serve hot with your favorite side dish, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
