Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 4 slices of Swiss cheese
– 4 thin slices of deli ham
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 large egg, beaten
– 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Lay each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Place a slice of cheese and a slice of ham on each chicken breast, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll up each breast, securing with toothpicks if necessary to keep them closed.
- In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper
- Brush each chicken roll-up with Dijon mustard, then dredge in flour, dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange the breaded roll-ups in the prepared baking dish and drizzle with melted butter.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. And remember to remove those toothpicks!
