Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 slices thinly sliced deli ham
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp butter for frying
- Lettuce and tomato (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with panko breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.
- Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound until about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
- Lay out each flattened chicken breast, layer with cheese and ham, then fold like an envelope. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, then coat thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and fry each sandwich until golden brown on both sides (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- Transfer fried sandwiches to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts completely.
