Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 3 large chicken breasts
  • 12 pieces ham
  • 6 pieces swiss cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 cups panko crumbs
  • 2 cups plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt & pepper
  • toothpicks to hold the chicken together

Creamy Sauce

  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoon plain flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

Chicken

  • Preheat oven to 180°c (fan-forced) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Put flour, bread crumbs and egg wash in separate containers. Add eggs, milk, and 1 tablespoon of flour and whisk to create the egg wash. The flour makes the egg wash thicker and helps it stick better.
  • Butterfly the chicken breasts. To do this, sit the chicken breast on a cutting board, place your hand on the top of it, and slowly slice it in half, making it a thinner piece of chicken.
  • Bang out the chicken using a rolling pin or tenderiser with glad wrap on top to about 1cm thick. Cut the thin chicken breasts in half, making 2 pieces.
  • Add a dash of seasoning (garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper) on each piece and top with ham and cheese.
  • Carefully roll up each piece.
  • Coat in flour, dip in egg wash and then panko bread crumbs. Place on a baking tray and spray with some olive oil.
  • You may want to add some toothpicks to hold the shape when baking.
  • Place in oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the chicken has cooked through.

Creamy Sauce

  • In a saucepan on a medium heat, melt butter until bubbling and add flour to make a raux.
  • Slowly add milk as you are whisking until thick and smooth.
  • Allow simmering for 3 minutes while mixing every minute.
  • Add mustard, garlic powder, salt and pepper and parmesan cheese.
  • Stir until cheese has melted and serve on top of the chicken.
