Directions
Preheat vegetable oil in a heavy bottomed pot to 350°F and preheat the oven to 400°F.
Cut chicken breast in half lengthwise.
Lay swiss cheese down onto the pounded chicken breast followed by 1 slice of ham.
Starting from the narrow end off the breast, roll the chicken to the wide end, then tightly roll up and wrap in plastic wrap. Allow to rest in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Prepare your 3 step breading station by placing flour, panko, and egg wash into separate bowls.
Dredge the chicken in the flour, then the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs. Make sure to fully coat the chicken at each stage.
Working in batches, gently lay chicken into hot oil gathered side down and let cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Using a wire strainer, transfer chicken to a wire rack lined baking tray and move into the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the center reads 165°F.
Allow cooked chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving.
