Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish for the chicken rolls.
  2. Gently pound each chicken breast to about 1/4-inch thickness and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place a slice of Swiss cheese and ham on each chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  4. Set up a dredging station with flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Coat each roll starting with flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat a mixture of butter and olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken rolls for about 5 minutes until golden-brown.
  6. Transfer the rolls to the baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Prepare the cream sauce by melting butter, whisking in flour, then gradually adding milk and cooking until thickened. Stir in cheese and mustard.
  8. Once baked, remove toothpicks, slice if desired, and serve drizzled with the cream sauce.
