For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices of ham
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Chicken: Pound chicken breasts to ¼ inch thickness using a meat mallet. Layer each with a slice of ham and cheese. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
