Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Rolls

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices deli-style turkey
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)

For the Swiss Cheese Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get ready for baking the chicken rolls.
  2. Pound Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick to ensure even cooking and easy rolling.
  3. Assemble Rolls: Lay two slices of turkey and one slice of Swiss cheese on each flattened chicken breast. Roll the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold the filling inside during cooking.
  4. Prepare Breading Station: Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with breadcrumbs combined with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Bread Chicken Rolls: Coat each chicken roll first in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture to create a crispy crust.
  6. Pan-Sear Rolls: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken rolls for 4-5 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown, enhancing flavor and texture.
  7. Bake: Transfer the seared chicken rolls to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked.
  8. Make Swiss Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour to create a roux, then gradually add milk while whisking until smooth. Stir in shredded Swiss cheese until melted and creamy.
  9. Serve: Remove toothpicks or twine from the chicken rolls and drizzle generously with the warm Swiss cheese sauce. Serve immediately for best taste.

Notes

  • Ensure chicken is pounded evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Use kitchen twine or toothpicks to prevent filling from spilling out.
  • For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs instead of traditional ones.
  • Allow rolls to rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep juices locked in.
  • The Swiss cheese sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated before serving.
