Description
A delightful recipe that combines crispy chicken with savory ham and creamy Swiss cheese, perfect for a warm family gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (vegetable or olive oil)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until thin with a meat mallet.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Lay a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each chicken breast, then roll them up tightly, securing with toothpicks.
- Set up a breading station: one plate with flour, one bowl with the beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one plate with breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip in the egg mixture, and coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken rolls on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20-30 minutes until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Carefully remove the toothpicks, slice, and serve.
Notes
For a leaner option, use turkey ham. Substitute cheddar cheese for a bolder flavor or almond flour for a gluten-free version.
