Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2-4 slices ham
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
Creamy Filling
  • ¾ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 3 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Breading
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Cooking
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Equipment

  • meat mallet
  • large skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • mixing bowls
  • Plastic Wrap

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the cream cheese, softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, onion powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound gently until about ¼ to ½ inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the creamy filling over each flattened chicken breast, layer with ham and Swiss cheese.
  4. Roll each breast tightly, tucking in the sides to secure the filling. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Prepare dredging stations: flour in one dish, egg and cornstarch mixed in another, breadcrumbs with paprika, salt and pepper in a third.
  6. Unwrap the rolls and dredge in flour, dip in egg mixture, and roll in breadcrumbs, pressing gently.
  7. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry rolls for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Transfer fried rolls to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F.
  9. Let the rolls rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
