Ingredients
  

  • 4 unit boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 16 slices Swiss cheese
  • 225 g thinly sliced ham
  • 125 g all-purpose flour
  • 4 units eggs, beaten
  • 100 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • q.s. Salt and Pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Deep skillet or frying pan
  • Saucepan
  • Tongs for flipping
  • Other tools

Method
 

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder; let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Place a chicken breast between plastic wrap and flatten it to about 1cm thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  3. Remove plastic wrap, stack two slices of Swiss cheese, ham, and then another layer of cheese and ham; roll the chicken tightly.
  4. Wrap each chicken roll in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  5. Dredge each roll in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 170°C (340°F) and fry the rolls for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown; finish in the oven if needed.
  7. In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic; stir in flour, gradually whisk in milk, and add Dijon mustard and Parmesan until thickened.

Notes

For a healthier option, try oven-baking at 200°C (400°F) for 25 minutes. Storing leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator keeps them fresh for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat the chicken in the oven to maintain crispiness. Consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the panko breadcrumbs for extra flavor. This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables or garlic mashed potatoes.
