Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap. Gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin, making sure not to tear the meat.
  3. Season both sides of each chicken breast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for a flavor boost.
  4. Layer a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly, starting from the side with ham and cheese, and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  5. Dredge each roll in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  6. Place the breaded chicken rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops with a little cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious creation!
