Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 slices of turkey
4 slices of Swiss cheese
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1 cup flour
½ cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
Garlic powder, salt, and pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thick.
Lay two turkey slices and one slice of Swiss cheese on each flattened chicken breast, then roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with milk, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder.
Coat each chicken roll in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brown each chicken roll for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the rolls to a baking dish and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
For the Swiss cheese sauce, melt the remaining butter in a saucepan, whisk in flour until smooth, gradually add milk while stirring until thickened, then mix in Swiss cheese until melted.
Serve the chicken rolls drizzled with the creamy cheese sauce.
