# Ingredients:
→ Proteins
01 -
8 thin slices of deli turkey
02 -
4 pieces of boneless chicken breasts without skin
03 -
4 slices of Swiss cheese
→ Breading
04 -
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
05 -
1/2 cup milk
06 -
2 eggs, large size
07 -
1 cup of panko breadcrumbs
08 -
1 cup all-purpose flour
09 -
Sprinkle of salt and pepper
→ Sauce
10 -
Swiss cheese, if you'd like extra for the sauce
11 -
4 tablespoons of butter, split into two portions
# Steps:
01 -
Warm the oven to 190°C (375°F).
02 -
Slide each chicken breast between two plastic sheets, then flatten it until it's about 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) thick using a mallet.
03 -
On each flattened chicken piece, lay one Swiss cheese slice and two turkey slices. Roll up tightly, then secure with twine or toothpicks so they stay in place.
04 -
Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with eggs whisked with milk, and the last one with panko mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
05 -
Dunk each rolled chicken piece in flour, then coat it in the egg mix, and finally roll it in the breadcrumb mixture until covered evenly.
06 -
Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Let the rolls cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they're golden.
07 -
Move the browned chicken to a baking pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 75°C (165°F) inside.
08 -
In another pan, melt the other half of the butter portions. Add some flour while stirring, then slowly pour in milk along with Swiss cheese until it's smooth and creamy.
09 -
Take out the twine or toothpicks from the rolls and slice. Drizzle the creamy cheese sauce on top before serving.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Using high-quality ingredients makes all the difference.
02 -
Pounding the chicken until it's an even thickness is key to cooking evenly.
03 -
Add plenty of spices and salt while prepping.
04 -
Panko crumbs give a great crunch compared to regular breadcrumbs.
05 -
Let the rolls sit for five minutes after baking to keep them juicy.
