Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. Lay a slice of ham on top of each flattened chicken breast, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese.
  4. Roll the chicken up tightly from the short end to enclose the ham and cheese, securing the roll with toothpicks if necessary.
  5. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour seasoned with salt and white pepper, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with fine dry breadcrumbs.
  6. Dredge each chicken roll in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
  7. Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
  8. Press the chicken rolls into the breadcrumbs, coating them evenly on all sides.
  9. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  10. Sear the breaded chicken rolls in the hot oil for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown on all sides.
  11. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165ðF (74ðC).
  12. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve with optional mushroom sauce.
