  • Dijon mustard
  • sour cream
  • minced garlic

  • cornstarch
  • garlic powder
  • onion powder

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 slices deli ham
  • 6 slices swiss cheese
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ cup cornstarch
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 large eggs whisked
  • 2 cup panko crumbs

Instructions

  • Slice the chicken breasts in half as to butterfly it and open it flat. Cover with plastic wrap and using a kitchen mallet or rolling pin, beat the chicken flat to about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Cut Swiss cheese slices in half. Place one slice of ham on the open chicken breast and then 3 half slices of cheese. Repeat.
  • Roll the chicken breast closed around the ham and cheese and pin closed with toothpicks. Set in fridge to chill while you continue.
  • In one bowl whisk the eggs.
  • In another bowl, fill with the panko crumbs.
  • In a final bowl add the spices, flour and cornstarch.
  • Dredge the chicken breast in the flour mixture first, then the egg wash and lastly the panko crumbs.
  • Make sure the chicken is fully breaded and place in air fryer basket. Spray with oil.
  • Cook on 370 for 9 minutes, flip and cook for 9 more minutes.
  • While cooking, mix together the Dijon, sour cream and minced garlic for the Dijon aioli.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • If you can’t find pre-sliced Swiss cheese, you can buy a block of cheese and slice it yourself. Just make sure the slices are thin.
  • You can use any type of deli ham for this recipe. I like to use honey ham, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake this recipe in the oven. Just preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
