Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced ham
  • 4 ounces Swiss cheese sliced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup sour cream for Dijon sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard for Dijon sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice for Dijon sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  3. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  4. Lay 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly, starting from one end, and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  5. Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the eggs in another dish, and combine the breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a third dish.
  6. Dredge each chicken roll in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken rolls and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  9. While the chicken is baking, prepare the Dijon sauce by mixing sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
  10. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the Dijon sauce drizzled on top or on the side.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, bake the chicken rolls instead of frying them. Brush with olive oil and bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes.
  • Add some fresh herbs like thyme or parsley to the breadcrumb mixture for added flavor.
