Our version of this French-inspired favorite is easy to prepare and ready to serve in just under an hour. Pounding the chicken evenly is key to getting all of the ingredients stacked and rolled evenly. The layers of flavor created by flouring the rolls, then coating them with honey mustard before finishing with breadcrumbs make the perfect crispy-delicious outer shell to the tender chicken, smoked ham and gooey Swiss cheese. Excellent for children but nice enough for a special dinner, this dish makes an ideal main for Easter and Mother's Day meals. Serve with seared green beans and a simple green salad. Trade the honey mustard out with a nice Dijon mustard for a more zingy flavor. Try haricot vert or French green beans. If you have true baby carrots with tops in your supermarket, buy a bunch, cut off the green tops and roast them whole until tender and slightly caramelized for a stunning side dish.
