Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
Flatten each chicken breast between plastic wrap using a meat mallet. Season with salt and pepper.
Layer ham and Swiss cheese on each piece, roll tightly, and chill for 1-2 hours.
Coat the rolls in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, followed by Panko breadcrumbs.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
In the meantime, prepare the cheese sauce by making a roux with olive oil and butter, gradually adding milk and cheeses until smooth.
Slice chicken into pinwheels, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with parsley.
