Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of ham
- 8 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Pound the chicken breasts to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Layer two slices of ham and two slices of Swiss cheese on each breast, then roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Dredge each roll in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Brown the chicken rolls on all sides (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Meanwhile, prepare the cream sauce by warming heavy cream in a saucepan and stirring in Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and Parmesan cheese until thickened.
- Once baked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with the cream sauce.
