Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to a thickness of about ¼ inch.
Layer each breast with a slice of chicken breast and Swiss cheese. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Season flour with salt and pepper; dredge each roll in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the rolls for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Place the rolls in a baking dish and bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
For the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan, add flour, then gradually whisk in milk. Stir in Dijon mustard and Parmesan until thickened.
Remove toothpicks before serving, slice into rounds, drizzle with sauce, and garnish as desired.
