Ingredients
- 2 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices swiss cheese
- 4 slices ham
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
Dijon Sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Place a cheese slice on top of a slice of ham, then another slice of ham and cheese. Roll them up so the cheese is inside. Place the rolls inside each pocket and close them with 2 toothpicks if necessary.
- In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, mustard, and a dash of salt and pepper together. Spread it in a thin layer all over the chicken.
- Place the breadcrumbs on a large, shallow plate. Carefully roll the chicken in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
- Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F then place the chicken in a single layer inside. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking oil spray.
- Air fry for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce: melt the butter in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and whisk until the mixture is blended and smooth.
- Add the mustard and Parmesan and simmer for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over chicken.
