Steps

  1. 1

    Butterfly chicken breasts and pound to 1/4-inch thickness.

  2. 2

    Layer ham and Swiss cheese on each breast. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks.

  3. 3

    Dredge in flour, dip in egg, coat in panko. Spray with oil.

  4. 4

    Air fry at 375°F for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and internal temp reaches 165°F.

  5. 5

    Make sauce: melt butter, whisk in flour, add broth and cream, stir in mustard. Drizzle over chicken.

💡

Tip: Pound the chicken evenly thin so it rolls without cracking. Secure with toothpicks and remove before serving. The cheese will ooze a bit — that's normal and delicious. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Why Air Fry This?

  • ⏱️Ready in 20 minutes vs ~36 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
  • 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
  • ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
