Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 oz sliced deli ham
- 4 oz Swiss cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on each breast, then roll tightly.
- Beat the eggs in one bowl and place panko breadcrumbs in another. Dip each rolled chicken piece into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the chicken rolls in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach at least 165°F/75°C).
- While the chicken bakes, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in heavy cream until smooth. Add garlic powder and simmer until thickened.
- Serve the baked chicken drizzled with creamy Swiss cheese sauce alongside your favorite sides.
