Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices thin slices of deli ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 pieces toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set it aside.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper. Use a meat mallet to pound each breast to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Lay each chicken breast flat on a clean surface. Place two slices of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese in the center of each breast.
Starting from one end, tightly roll the chicken breast around the ham and cheese. Secure the roll with toothpicks to keep it from unraveling while cooking.
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Brush each chicken rollup with melted butter, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Arrange the coated chicken rollups in the prepared baking dish, seam side down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove toothpicks before serving. Pair with your favorite side dish, such as roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or mashed potatoes.
