Ingredients
Method
- Pat the chicken dry using paper towels. Use a sharp knife to cut each chicken breast horizontally into two halves to create thinner pieces. prep
- Place the chicken halves between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken into even, thin pieces. Be careful not to tear the chicken. prep
- Lay one slice of ham and a handful of shredded Swiss cheese on top of each chicken piece. Roll the chicken tightly, tucking in the sides. Place each roll on a new piece of plastic wrap. assemble
- Wrap the chicken rolls tightly in the plastic wrap, pinching the ends to create a tootsie-roll shape. Twist the ends to secure the rolls. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 day. prep
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the chicken rolls from the refrigerator, unwrap, and season with salt and pepper. prep
- In a food processor, pulse the cornflakes until they become fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish. In a separate dish, melt the butter. prep
- Dip each chicken roll in the melted butter, then coat evenly in the cornflake crumbs. Press gently to help the crumbs adhere. Arrange the coated rolls on a lightly greased baking sheet. assemble
- Bake on the center rack for 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Be sure to check the chicken, not the filling. bake
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and mustard. Taste and adjust mustard to your preference. finish
- Serve the crispy chicken rolls with the mustard mayo sauce on the side for dipping. finish
