Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken tenders or 2 small chicken breasts
  • 4 thin slices deli ham
  • 4 thin slices Swiss cheese
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions
 

  • On a cutting board, lay out chicken tenders and lay a piece of parchment (or a piece of plastic wrap) on top of tender, one at a time, using flat side of meat mallet / tenderizer – pound chicken lightly to flatten to make 4 flattened chicken slices (serve 2 per person)
    If using chicken breast - using a sharp knife - slice each breast into two pieces lengthwise and proceed as noted here
    Don't have a meat mallet? You can beat with a rolling pin as well! 
    4 boneless skinless chicken tenders
  • Spread 1 tsp dijon mustard on top of the chicken
    2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Lay one slice ham and one slice cheese on top of mustard
    4 thin slices deli ham, 4 thin slices Swiss cheese
  • Set up breading trays:
    Tray 1: beaten egg
    Tray 2: mix together panko bread crumbs and parmesan
    Feel free to add a pinch of salt & pepper if you like. 
    1 egg, 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • Tightly roll your chicken tender/ham/cheese and hold it tight!
  • Dredge rolled chicken in egg wash and then move rolled chicken to panko mixture. Roll to coat entirely and pat down mixture onto chicken. Give the roll a little squeeze and it should hold together. No need for a toothpick unless it’s not holding together
  • Set rolls in a single layer in air fryer basket and spritz with olive oil spray. 
  • Air fry at 350º for 14 minutes.
    Using an instant-read thermometer, check the internal temperature of the chicken to be sure it is at 165º 
  • Remove from air fryer basket with tongs and serve with a side salad.
