Ingredients:
- 4 double chicken breasts (about 7-ounces each), skinless and boneless
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 thin slices deli ham
- 16 thin slices Gruyere or Swiss cheese
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons water
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lay the chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness. Take care not to pound too hard because the meat may tear or create holes.
- Lay 2 slices of cheese on each breast, followed by 2 slices of ham, and 2 more of cheese; leaving a 1/2-inch margin on all sides to help seal the roll. Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll. Squeeze the log gently to seal.
- Season the flour with salt and pepper; spread out on waxed paper or in a flat dish.
- Mix the breadcrumbs with thyme, kosher salt, pepper, and oil. The oil will help the crust brown.
- Beat together the eggs and water, the mixture should be fluid.
- Lightly dust the chicken with flour, then dip in the egg mixture. Gently coat in the bread crumbs. Carefully transfer the roulades to a baking pan and bake for 20 minutes until browned and cooked through. Cut into pinwheels before serving.
