Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of chicken breast
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pound chicken breasts between plastic wrap to an even thickness.
- Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble by placing one slice of chicken breast and one slice of cheese on each piece and rolling tightly; secure with toothpicks.
- Set up a breading station: flour, whisked eggs, and seasoned breadcrumbs. Dredge each roll in flour, dip into eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken rolls until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
- For the sauce: melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and heavy cream; simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes).
- Let the chicken rest for five minutes before slicing and drizzling with the creamy sauce.
