A delightful dish with tender chicken, savory ham, and creamy Swiss cheese, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 slices ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 pieces eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or butter for frying
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Take each chicken breast, smear with Dijon mustard, and layer with ham and cheese.
- Roll the chicken breasts tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Set up a breading station: one dish with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Cooking
- In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.
- Fry the chicken rolls until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- In the meantime, mix heavy cream and Dijon mustard in a saucepan over low heat to create the sauce.
- Serve the chicken with the creamy Dijon sauce drizzled on top.
Notes
To store leftovers, place the chicken in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will last for about 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through before serving. Make sure to tightly roll the chicken to keep the filling inside. Add herbs or spices to the breadcrumbs for extra flavor. For customization, add spinach or roasted red peppers before rolling the chicken.
