Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 slices of ham
4 slices of Swiss cheese
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Olive oil spray
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Assemble:
- Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll them up tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Coating:
- Dip each chicken roll in flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs. Spray lightly with olive oil.
Air Fry:
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C). Place the chicken rolls in the air fryer basket and cook for 20-25 minutes until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest:
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking, then remove toothpicks before serving.
Notes
Make sure the chicken breasts are thinly flattened to ensure even cooking. You can also use any type of melting cheese you prefer instead of Swiss cheese.
