Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices of turkey
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Flatten each chicken breast to about ½ inch thickness using a meat mallet.
- Layer two slices of turkey and one slice of Swiss cheese on each breast, then roll tightly and secure with toothpicks or twine.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs mixed with milk, and another for panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder.
- Coat each roll in flour, dip in the egg mixture, then roll in breadcrumbs until fully covered.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat and brown each roll for about 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Transfer the rolls to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
