Yield: 4servings
Ingredients
4(6 oz each) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4ozthinly sliced deli ham
3ozthinly sliced Swiss cheese
2tablespoonsall-purpose flour
2large egg whites, beaten
6tablespoonscorn flake crumbs
½teaspoonsalt
¼teaspoonblack pepper
1teaspoondried parsley flakes
1/8teaspoononion powder
1/8teaspooncayenne pepper
*You will also need a few toothpicks to seal the stuffed breasts
Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 375. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a meat mallet, pound the breasts to a ¼ inch thickness. Lay one ounce of ham across the surface of each breast and top with ¾ ounce of Swiss cheese. Starting with a short side, roll each breast up and seal the edges shut using a few toothpicks.
Place the rolled and sealed breasts in a Ziploc bag and add the flour (you may want to do this in two separate batches). Lightly flip the bag around until chicken is coated. Place the beaten egg whites in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, mix the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, parsley, onion powder and cayenne until well combined. Remove each rolled breast from the flour bag and dip it in the egg whites, turning to coat. Then move the coated breast to the breadcrumb dish and coat it with crumbs on all sides. Place the completed rolls seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly mist the tops of the breaded breasts with olive oil cooking spray.
Bake for 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Don’t forget to remove the toothpicks before serving!
