Equipment

  • Mallet or Rolling Pin

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken breast boneless skinless butterflied and pounded
  • 4 oz Deli ham sliced thin
  • 4 oz Swiss cheese sliced
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 2 Eggs scrambled
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil

Dijon Sauce

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup Chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp Scallions sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Butterfly the chicken breast by cutting it in half lengthwise to create thin even pieces; lightly pound the chicken using a mallet or rolling pin to make the chicken thinner and then season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Lay the chicken on a cutting board and place ham and cheese on top of the chicken and roll, setting them aside seam side down.
  • Coat the chicken in flour, then dip into the eggs, then roll in the breadcrumbs. Make sure they are coated well.
  • Place the chicken onto a baking sheet seam side down. Drizzle olive oil over the top and bake for about 20 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160°F is reached using a thermometer.

Sauce:

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook while stirring for 1 minute.
  • Slowly whisk in the broth and mustard. Simmer until the sauce thickens and is smooth. Spoon over the top of the chicken and garnish with scallions.
