Ingredients

Scale

8 slices thinly sliced ham
8 oz Swiss cheese, sliced
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound until about half an inch thick.
Lay two slices of ham and two slices of cheese on each chicken breast. Roll tightly from one end to the other and secure with toothpicks if needed.
Dip each rolled chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat in panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Arrange the coated chicken rolls in a greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and they are golden brown.
Let rest for a few minutes before slicing into medallions. Serve with your choice of sides.
