- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness.
- Season both sides of each piece of chicken with salt and pepper.
- Layer a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on top of each chicken breast.
- Roll the chicken tightly, tucking in the sides to encase the ham and cheese, and secure with toothpicks.
- Dredge each roll in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat in breadcrumbs.
- Heat butter or oil over medium heat in a skillet.
- Cook the chicken rolls for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Notes
For a crispy texture, ensure the oil is hot before adding chicken. You can swap Swiss cheese for provolone or mozzarella.
