Ingredients

Breadcrumbs

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • Oil spray

Chicken

  • 2 small chicken breasts (6-7 oz each)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices ham

Breading

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs

Morehouse Mornay Sauce

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • 1 tbsp Morehouse Yellow Mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Breadcrumbs

  • Preheat oven to 390°F (standard) or 350°F (fan).
  • In a shallow bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, dried parsley, garlic powder, and paprika. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken

  • Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, stopping just before cutting all the way through.
  • Place a piece of plastic wrap over the butterflied chicken and gently pound it with a rolling pin or meat mallet until about ¼-inch thick.
  • Season both sides with salt and pepper.

3. Fill & Roll

  • Lay 2 slices of ham and 2 slices of Swiss cheese inside each chicken breast.
  • Fold the chicken closed, tucking the edges in as best as possible. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

4. Bread the Chicken

  • Set up three shallow bowls:
    • Bowl 1: Flour
    • Bowl 2: Whisked eggs
    • Bowl 3: Seasoned breadcrumbs
  • Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in flour, then dip in whisked eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumb mixture. Press breadcrumbs on to fully adhere.
  • Place on a lightly greased baking sheet and spray the tops with oil spray for extra crispiness.

5. Bake

  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

6. Make the Morehouse Mornay Sauce

  • While the chicken bakes, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute until lightly golden.
  • Slowly whisk in milk and continue stirring until the mixture thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and stir in Swiss cheese, Gruyère cheese, and Morehouse Mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk until smooth.

7. Serve

  • Remove toothpicks from the chicken, if used.
  • Serve with Morehouse Mornay Sauce drizzled on top.
