Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
• 8 slices Thinly sliced deli ham
• 8 slices Swiss cheese slices
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to gently pound them to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 3

Lay the pounded chicken breasts on a flat surface. Place 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of Swiss cheese on each breast, leaving a little border around the edges.

Step 4

Carefully roll up each chicken breast, starting at the shorter end, and secure the seam with toothpicks so it doesn’t unravel while cooking.

Step 5

Set up a breading station: Place the flour in the first shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water in the second dish, and combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in the third dish.

Step 6

Dip each chicken roll in the flour, coating it entirely, followed by the egg mixture, and then the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.

Step 7

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken rolls and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Heat gently, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the toothpicks from the chicken rolls and drizzle the Dijon sauce over the top.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
