Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices of ham such as deli ham or prosciutto
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko for extra crunch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream for the Dijon sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard for the Dijon sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice for the Dijon sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Prepare the chicken breasts by pounding them to about 1/2 inch thickness and seasoning with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  3. Lay 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  4. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.
  5. Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip in eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  6. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat, then cook the chicken rolls for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  8. Prepare the Dijon sauce by whisking together sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking, then remove toothpicks or twine before slicing.
  10. Serve the chicken rolls drizzled with the Dijon sauce.
