Equipment

Oven adjusted to the center rack position
baking sheet
meat tenderizer
Plastic wrap
cutting board & knife
Small bowl
Fork
Shallow dish

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken cutlets sliced in half and pounded with tenderizer
3 large eggs beaten
1½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¾ teaspoon seasoned salt
6 ounces Polish, low-salt ham sliced into quarter-sized strips
6 ounces Swiss cheese

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and adjust the oven rack to the center position.
In a small bowl, using a fork, whisk the eggs until fluffy.
In another shallow dish, add the seasoned breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, seasoned salt, and parsley flakes; mix.
On a cutting board, carefully half your chicken cutlet to make two pieces.
Place one halved piece of the chicken cutlets on the cutting board. Place a piece of plastic wrap over the chicken, and pound cutlet with a meat tenderizer; repeat until all pieces are done.
Dip each pounded piece into the egg, and then dredge the chicken in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Place each breaded slice on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add two slices of ham to each piece as shown.
Add two think chunks of Swiss cheese.
Roll up chicken tightly with the edges down to keep them rolled tightly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through to 165℉ and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Some cheese may melt out but that is okay.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving with prepared Green Giant® Restaurant Style Asparagus, Roasted Red Potatoes & Onions. Enjoy
