Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 3 chicken breasts filled to form 6 thin pieces of chicken
- 6 slices ham turkey ham also works great
- 6 slices swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- toothpicks
- cooking spray
Sauce
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 tsp salt
- pepper to taste
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken breasts into six thin, evenly sized pieces.
- Combine the regular breadcrumbs and panko on a plate.
- Place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on each piece of chicken.
- Roll each piece tightly around the filling and secure with toothpicks.
- Coat the chicken rolls with the breadcrumb mixture and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F. Arrange the chicken rolls in a single layer, leaving space for air circulation.
- Air fry, turning halfway through, until the coating is golden and the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Check the center of the rolls with an instant-read thermometer.
- Allow the chicken to rest briefly, then carefully remove the toothpicks.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk to form a smooth paste. Cook 2-3 minutes, until golden. Add the milk, whisking constantly, until combined. Cook until slightly thickened, then slowly add the chicken broth while continuing to whisk constantly to prevent lumps. Whisk in the salt and pepper.
- When the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and whisk in the dijon mustard and parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Serve chicken over pasta or rice and drizzle with sauce.
