Equipment
- Oven
- Baking dish
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 8 thin deli ham slices
- 8 thin slices of Swiss cheese
- 2 huge eggs
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 a cup of thick cream
- 1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 cup of chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place a slice of ham and cheese on each piece of chicken. Roll up and secure with toothpicks.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard.
- In another shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper.
- In a third shallow bowl, mix together the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken roll in the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in an oven safe skillet over medium heat. Brown each side of the chicken rolls for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
- While the chicken bakes, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly until smooth. Add cream and let simmer until thickened.
- Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before removing toothpicks.
- Serve with the creamy sauce on top of the chicken rolls.
Notes
- For the best results, use a thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
- Use gluten-free panko breadcrumbs to make a gluten-free variation.
- For the finest flavor, use deli style ham.
- To make it hotter, add a little bit of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
- To create the mustard sauce, go to step 5 and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat when ready to serve.
- If you want to improve the meal's flavor, add a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary to the breadcrumb mixture.
