Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
16 slices Swiss cheese
½ lb thinly sliced ham
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
3 tablespoons butter (for sauce)
2 cups milk (for sauce)
¼ cup Dijon mustard (for sauce)

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Pound them to about ½ inch thick between plastic wrap.
Layer Swiss cheese and ham on each breast, roll tightly, and wrap securely in plastic wrap; refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat oil in a deep pan to 325°F (170°C). Set up dredging stations with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
