Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of ham deli-style
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko for extra crunch

Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay a slice of ham on each chicken breast, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese. Roll up the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Breading: Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat in breadcrumbs.
