Ingredients

2 (8-ounce) chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 thin slices (2 ounces) deli ham

24 (3 ounces) Land O Lakes® Gouda & Havarti Cheese Cubes  

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 cup panko bread crumbs

1 Half Stick (1/4 cup) Land O Lakes® Butter, melted

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon paprika

 *Substitute equal amount of Land O Lakes® Creamy Italian Cheese Cubes.

How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Cut each chicken breast horizontally to create 2 same-size cutlets for 4 cutlets total. Place cutlet between 2 pieces plastic food wrap; pound to even 1/4" thickness. Repeat with remaining cutlets. Lightly season each cutlet with salt and pepper. 

  2. STEP 2

    Place 1 slice ham on top of each seasoned cutlet; arrange as needed to cover most of surface. Place 6 cheese cubes on each slice ham. Roll each cutlet, tucking ends as needed to enclose filling. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic food wrap. Transfer to plate. Refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 1 day.

  3. STEP 3

    Heat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

  4. STEP 4

    Mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in small bowl. Mix panko, melted butter, garlic salt and paprika in shallow bowl. Remove rolled chicken from plastic wrap. Spread about 1 tablespoon Dijon mixture over each roll, coating all sides. Press firmly into panko crumbs to coat entire roll. Place coated chicken rolls onto prepared baking sheet.

  5. STEP 5

    Bake 25-30 minutes or until deep golden brown and internal temperature of chicken reaches at least 165°F. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tip #1

To ensure evenly sized chicken breasts, head to your butcher counter. Not only will they select 8-ounce breasts, you can also ask for the chicken to be fileted and pounded allowing you to skip that step at home.

Tip #2

If there are any loose edges when you unwrap chilled chicken rolls, secure with toothpicks. Remember how many you use so you can remove after baking!
