Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 slices Thinly sliced ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.25 cup Honey mustard
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Lay a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides to prevent the filling from escaping.
Secure each roll with toothpicks and set aside.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Dredge each chicken roll in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Place the breaded chicken rolls onto the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray them with olive oil to help achieve a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, warm the honey mustard in a small saucepan over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks carefully, drizzle with warmed honey mustard, and serve immediately.
