Chicken Blue Ribbon

A classic, crowd-pleasing roll-up that’s cheesy, crunchy, and easy enough for weeknights yet impressive enough for guests.

  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 4 slices of ham
  • 4 slices (or 1 cup shredded) Swiss cheese
  • 1 ½ cups crushed cornflakes (or breadcrumbs)
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a pinch of garlic powder or paprika

Instructions

  1. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner pieces and flatten them until about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. Lay a slice of ham and Swiss cheese on each piece of chicken.
  3. Roll each piece tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Unwrap the rolls, season with salt and pepper, and brush with melted butter.
  5. Dip rolls into crushed cornflakes to coat evenly and place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes until cooked through and golden.
  7. While baking, mix mayonnaise and mustard for the dipping sauce.
  8. Remove toothpicks, slice the rolls into rounds, and serve.

Notes

Can be prepped ahead and baked later for easy entertaining. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
