Ingredients

Chicken
2 large chicken breasts, butterflied
4 slices deli ham
4 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt
Dijon Cream Sauce
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp flour
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Equipment

  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer
  • Oil Sprayer Mister
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

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.
