Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a meat mallet, pound each chicken breast to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  3. Lay two slices of turkey and one slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast. Roll tightly and secure.
  4. Create a three-station breading setup: seasoned flour, whisked eggs with milk, and seasoned breadcrumbs.
  5. Dredge each rolled chicken piece in flour, dip in egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  6. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Brown chicken rolls for 4-5 minutes on each side.
  7. Transfer chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  8. Prepare the creamy Swiss cheese sauce by melting butter, whisking in flour, then gradually stirring in milk and Swiss cheese.
  9. Let chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with Swiss cheese sauce.
