Ingredients

4 chicken breasts skinless and boneless
4 thin slices prosciutto di Parma
1/2 pound Gruyere, grated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup panko bread crumbs
4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs
Extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Lay the chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove the top sheet of plastic and lay 2 slices of prosciutto neatly over the top to cover the breast and sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the prosciutto. Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll inside the plastic wrap. Squeeze the log gently to seal and twist both ends tight to form a nice log. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Season the flour with salt and pepper. Mix the bread crumbs with thyme, garlic and kosher salt, pepper, and melted butter. The butter will help the crust brown. Beat together the eggs and season so the flour, the eggs and the crumbs are all seasoned.

Remove the plastic wrap. Lightly dust the chicken with flour, dip in the egg mixture and gently coat in the bread crumbs. Lightly coat a baking pan with olive oil and carefully transfer the roulades onto it. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until browned and cooked through.

Cut into pinwheels and serve on top of Brussels Sprout Hash with Chicken Jus and Cranberry Chutney, if desired.

excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My whole family loved this dish. I didn't have proscioutto or the cheese so I subbed black forrest ham and swiss cheese. I... made a simple holandaise sauce and served it with steamed broccoli and redskins. Yum!Read more

I made this for dinner tonight. I used the Gruyere and the prosciutto di Parma. My husband and three children (ages 17, 12... and 9) loved this. Will definitely make this again. Read more

Very delicious
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I didn't have pancetta so I substituted cooked bacon and it was excellent! I need to work on rolling the chicken better, or... maybe use some toothpicks. But regardless this is a great recipe.Read more

My Husband was HAPPY
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I thought this recipe was rather labor intensive but the results were WOW. My husband, who deserves the very best, was... delighted with the results. I followed other reviewers who suggested chilling the rolled breasts in the "fridge" prior to dredging with egg and breadcrumb mix. The presentation was restaurant quality. I am a fairly accomplished cook and I took my time to follow the recipe exactly. I know that it will become easier with REPTITION. My advice: DO NOT BE AFRAID TO TRY THIS IT IS YUMMY!Read more

Yum Yum

This recipe was delicious. I have never had gruyere cheese before this. It was so good. I wouldn't use anything else now... that I have tried it! It is creamy and has great flavor. I also thought the prosciutto was a good alternative to ham. I will definitely make this again!Read more

Delish but needs more time in the oven!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The recipe was easy and delicious but it needs to cook for about 30-35 minutes unless your chicken is pounded papaer thin.
