Ingredients

  • 4 double chicken breasts (about 7-ounces each), skinless and boneless
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 thin slices deli ham
  • 16 thin slices Gruyere or Swiss cheese
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lay the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Take care not to pound too hard because the meat may tear or create holes. Lay 2 slices of cheese on each breast, followed by 2 slices of ham, and 2 more of cheese; leaving a 1/2-inch margin on all sides to help seal the roll. Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll. Squeeze the log gently to seal.

Season the flour with salt and pepper; spread out on waxed paper or in a flat dish. Mix the breadcrumbs with thyme, kosher salt, pepper, and oil. The oil will help the crust brown. Beat together the eggs and water, the mixture should be fluid. Lightly dust the chicken with flour, then dip in the egg mixture. Gently coat in the bread crumbs. Carefully transfer the roulades to a baking pan and bake for 20 minutes until browned and cooked through. Cut into pinwheels before serving.

    I loved this recipe. It was simple, my boyfriend loved it which is a rare occasion. i just fried them quickly, drained the excess oil off the chicken on a paper towel and finished it in the oven. It turned out awesome!

    I highly do not recommend baking these for the first step. The bottoms get soggy when cooking in the oven, so I actually followed the recipe and baked them, and than finished them in oil. Turned out better, but not a keeper recipe.

    This recipe is outstanding! I have tried it with regular boneless skinless chicken breast and thin cut. I prefer the thin cut (the meat to cheese ratio is much more appealing. I think the cheese is the star in the dish and this can be served with or without the sauce. Great both ways!

    As for the cooking time, everyone's ovens are set differently. Once you are familair with your oven cooking time, you can adjust this recipe accordingly.
