This is made with Serrano ham and Manchego cheese rather than the usual Swiss cheese. Turned out juicy and flavorful. Feel free to tweek the seasonings to your preference.

Cooking Instructions

30 minutes
  1. 1

    Cut chicken breasts in half. Place each in a heavy-duty plastic bag and pound thin with a meat mallet.

  2. 2

    Season the cut side (which will be the inside) with basil, salt and pepper. Top with grated Manchego and a slice of Serrano ham. Starting from narrowest end, roll up and secure with toothpicks. (Be sure to remove toothpicks when serving, or warn diners.)

  3. 3

    Create dredging line. In first bowl, mix the flour and seasonings. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third, mix the panko and grated cheese. Thoroughly dredge each chicken roll in the flour, then the egg, then the panko/cheese mix.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken, 2 to 3 minutes per side, trying to brown all the breading. Move chicken to a baking dish.

  5. 5

    Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks and serve.

My 5 siblings and I were raised in the 1950s and 60s midwest by a major foodie dad who was a great cook. We all learned to cook at a young age. I love to cook for my 2 daughters, 7 grandkids, 8 great-grandkids, and extended family. My 4 year old great-grandson makes my day when he says "Nan sure is a good cooker!". :-). I'm trying to get all my favorite recipes saved here so my family and friends all have easy access to them even after I'm gone. My Cookpad collection is their inheritance, so I try to add my comments and memories to each recipe; that way they'll remember me with a smile when they use the recipes years from now. Recently I've called on my grandkids (all adults and avid cooks) to send me their own favorite recipes, with their prep photos, so we can collect everyone's favorites together in one place.
