Cook Time:

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 30 minutes.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices of ham
  • 4 slices of Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Equipment:

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Meat mallet or rolling pin
  • Small bowl
  • Shallow dish
  • Whisk

Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness of approximately 1/4 inch.
  3. Lay a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll up each breast tightly, tucking in the sides to seal in the filling.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  5. In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs until smooth.
  6. In another shallow dish, place the seasoned breadcrumbs.
  7. Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  8. Dip each breast in the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
  9. Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and brush with melted butter.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy.

Notes:

  • Make sure to tuck in the sides of the chicken breast tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can use smoked ham or a different type of cheese such as Gruyere or cheddar.
  • You can also use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs to make this recipe gluten-free.
