Servings: 6

 

Ingredients:

6 slices deli ham

2 eggs

1/4 cup flour

2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 cup panko bread crumbs

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

12 slices Gruyere or Swiss cheese

2 tsps water

Equipment:

plastic wrap

meat tenderizer

oven

baking pan

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing half lengthwise but not cutting all the way through. Lay the halved breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness, taking care to not tear or create holes in the meat.
  3. Lay 2 slices of cheese on each breast, followed by 2 slices of ham, and 2 more of cheese; leaving a 1/2-inch margin on all sides to help seal the roll. Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll. Squeeze the log gently to seal.
  4. Season the flour with salt and pepper; spread out on waxed paper or in a flat dish. Mix the breadcrumbs with thyme, kosher salt, pepper, and oil. The oil will help the crust brown. Beat together the eggs and water, the mixture should be fluid. Lightly dust the chicken with flour, then dip in the egg mixture. Gently coat in the bread crumbs.
  5. Carefully transfer the roulades to a baking pan and bake for 20 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  6. Serve whole or cut into pinwheels.

Food Joke

Two foreign nuns have just arrived in the USA by boat and one says to the other, "I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs." "Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America, we might as well do as the Americans do." Nodding emphatically, the Mother Superior points to a hot dog vendor and they both walk towards the cart. "Two dogs, please," she says. The vendor is only too pleased to oblige and he wraps both hot dogs in foil and hands them over the counter. Excited, the nuns hurry over to a bench and begin to unwrap their "dogs." The Mother Superior is first to open hers. She begins to blush and then, staring at it for a moment, leans over to the other nun and whispers cautiously, "What part did you get?"
