Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly, tucking in the edges, and secure with toothpicks.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Dredge each chicken roll in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once the butter melts, sear the chicken rolls on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove toothpicks before serving. Allow the rolls to rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
