Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound gently until about 1/2 inch thick.
Lay a slice of ham and cheese on each breast, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks.
Season the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken on all sides.
Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove toothpicks before serving.
