Description
Golden breaded chicken rolls filled with turkey ham and Swiss cheese, baked until tender, then served with a creamy Dijon Parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken cutlets, about 6 ounces each, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
- 4 thin slices turkey ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
- In one shallow bowl, combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and garlic powder. Place beaten eggs in a second bowl and panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Lay each chicken cutlet flat. Add 1 slice turkey ham and 1 slice Swiss cheese to each piece, then roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Coat each roll in the flour mixture, dip into the beaten eggs, then press into the panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken rolls for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the rolls to the prepared baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F inside.
- While the chicken bakes, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in Dijon mustard, chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Simmer the sauce for 3 to 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Remove toothpicks from the chicken, spoon the warm sauce over the top, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
- Pound the chicken evenly so it cooks at the same pace.
- Keep the cheese slightly away from the edges to reduce leaking.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Store extra sauce separately for the best texture when reheating.
