Ingredients:
8 boneless chicken breast halves, skin removed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
4 slices (1 ounce each) cooked ham, cut in half
4 slices (1 ounce each) Swiss cheese, cut in half
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs
vegetable oil
Mushroom Sauce Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup heated milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
salt
white pepper
Directions:
Place each piece of chicken between 2 sheets of wax paper, plastic wrap, or in food storage bag. Pound gently to flatten, using a rolling pin or smooth side of meat mallet. Sprinkle chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Combine eggs with 1 cup milk; whisk to blend. Dip chicken pieces in mixture.
Place a piece of ham and a piece of cheese in the center of each flattened piece of chicken. Brush top of cheese slices with the milk and egg mixture. Fold ends over the ham and cheese; roll up, beginning with long side. Secure rolls with toothpicks.
Dredge the chicken rolls in the 1/3 cup flour then dip in remaining milk mixture; roll in bread crumbs to coat well.
Place the breaded chicken rolls on a plate; cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat 1/2-inch of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
Fry chicken rolls for 20 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown. Drain well.
Serve with mushroom sauce.
Directions For Mushroom Sauce:
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; sauté mushrooms until browned.
Add flour and stir until mixture is well blended and flour is cooked, about 2 minutes.
Gradually stir in hot milk and chicken broth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sauce begins to boil and is thickened. Simmer, stirring frequently, over very low heat for 5 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Enjoy!
