My little twist on the classic. This is a make ahead recipe, the chicken can be prepared the night before if needed. I Served with a cheesy mustard cream sauce. maple bacon wrapped asparagus and roasted garlic and herb potatoes. #CookPadApron2026

Steps

2 hrs
  1. 1

    Pre make the chicken rolls. Butterfly each chicken breast start with the uneven side of the breast and cut back towards the even straighter side of the chicken breast.

  2. 2

    Place butterflied breast in a gallon sized freezer bag. Remove the air from the bag and seal. Using a meat mallet with a smooth face, pound out the thicker spots to make a nice even fillet. Don't get too aggressive with it. Repeat this process with the rest of the chicken

  3. 3

    After all have been flattened, lay one at a time out on a cutting board. Skin side down. Season each fillet with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder. Lay 2 to 3 Oz of deli ham on top along with 1.5 to 2 Oz of sliced Swiss cheese. Starting at the smaller end, roll towards the largest straightest edge. Tuck in the ends as you roll. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

  4. 4

    On the counter, roll out about 18 inches of plastic saran cling wrap. Place chicken roll parallel to the long edge. Roll up in the cling wrap. When rolled there will be a lot at the ends. Grab both ends and continue rolling the roll the same direction on the counter. Continue until it rolls the ends up enough to tighten the roll. You want it to look like a stuffed sausage in a casing. This helps seal the ends when cooking. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.

  5. 5

    Place all chicken on a plate and refrigerate. At least 2 hours, but up to overnight.

  6. 6

    30 minutes before beginning cooking, remove chicken from refrigerator and place in the freezer. I put mine in the door. Rotate after 15 minutes. You want them to just start getting firm on the outside.

  7. 7

    Meanwhile run your cornflakes through a food processor or blender. You want it about the texture of Panko, a little more course than bread crumbs. You need about 4 cups blended cornflakes. Place in a clean dry 9 x 13 pan to roll the chicken in.

  8. 8

    Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F. I placed 1 rack above the middle and 1 rack just below the middle.

  9. 9

    Before you bread the chicken, get a small pot on the stove and add milk and cream for the sauce. Place just above low on the heat. You want the sauce to cook very slow so it doesn't burn.

  10. 10

    Remove chicken from the freezer one at a time. Unwrap and place on a clean plate. Using a basting brush, brush all sides and ends of the chicken roll with 1 tsp of yellow mustard each.

  11. 11

    Immediately roll in cornflakes, press the cornflakes into the chicken on all sides and ends place in a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Repeat with rest of chicken. When all are done, look them over. if any spots look like they may blow out while cooking, you can add a little mustard and press more crumbs into it. They need to be well sealed. You can see a spot in the picture that I touched up.

  12. 12

    Bake on upper rack for 15 minutes. Then switch to lower rack for 25 minutes. Then switch back to upper rack for last 10 to 15 minutes for crumbs to brown. Keep a close eye the last stretch. Total 50 to 55 minutes.

  13. 13

    While chicken is in the oven, finish the sauce. When milk and cream are warm, add the rest of the sauce ingredients except the chives. Stir very often. Continue cooking the entire time the chicken is in. On a low setting everything should melt together smoothly and reduce to a creamy sauce. Add chives the last 10 minutes.

  14. 14

    Remove chicken when internal temp reaches 165. Tent with tin foil and let rest 10 minutes.

  15. 15

    Plate chicken and drizzle some sauce over top. Serve with desired side dishes, enjoy.

cooking is a passion of mine. I started when I was very young and I had to drag a milk crate around to see over the counter. taught by a career cook (my grandmother ). I have always tried to push the boundaries of conventional cooking. I prefer cooking wild game. when I can get my hands on it, but fish is more readily available for me. I raise and butcher most of the livestock that I use for my conventional recipes. I hope everyone can find a few recipes they like in my list.
