Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 slices of Swiss cheese
8 slices of thinly sliced ham
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Dijon Sauce:
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, creating a broad canvas for your fillings.
Place two slices of ham and two slices of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, then roll them up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
Coat each chicken roll in flour, dip in the egg, then roll in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken rolls on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the Dijon sauce. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the sauce, adjusting to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with the warm Dijon sauce drizzled over the top.
