For the Chicken
- 2 large chicken breasts about ⅔ pound each
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices deli ham
- 4 slices swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs
Butterfly each chicken breast by cutting it in half lengthwise.
Working with one piece of chicken at a time, place the chicken on a large cutting board and cover it with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken to ¼" thick. Repeat with the remaining pieces of chicken.
Lay out the chicken cutlets and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Place one piece of ham and one piece of cheese over each of the cutlets. Starting from one end, tightly roll the chicken into a log and secure it with toothpicks.
Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a small splash of water. Add the breadcrumbs to a third bowl.
Dip each piece of chicken in the flour, then eggs, and then breadcrumbs– making sure to coat the chicken evenly on all sides.
Spray your air fryer basket with olive oil spray and then add the chicken to the air fryer. Spray the chicken lightly with olive oil spray as well.
Cook at 350ºF/176ºC for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature registers 165ºF/74ºC.
