Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to roughly 1/4-inch thickness.
Lay one slice of ham and one slice of reduced-fat Swiss cheese onto each flattened chicken breast, leaving a small border on all sides.
Carefully roll up each chicken breast tightly, tucking in the edges as much as possible to seal the filling inside. Use toothpicks to secure the seams if needed.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow dish, lightly whisk the egg whites until frothy.
Dip each chicken roll first into the egg whites to coat, then into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs evenly.
Place the breaded chicken rolls seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the coating is golden brown.
Remove the toothpicks before serving. Enjoy your healthy and flavorful Chicken Cordon Bleu!
