Preparation Instructions

  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create two chicken breast halves.
  • Place the chicken breast halves between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them into thin and even pieces.
  • Top each piece of chicken with a slice of ham and cheese. Roll tightly and place on a new piece of plastic wrap.
  • Wrap the chicken tightly in plastic wrap, twist to create a firm roll, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to one day.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Remove chicken from fridge, unwrap, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Pulse cornflakes into fine crumbs in a food processor and transfer to a shallow dish. Melt butter in a separate dish.
  • Dip chicken in melted butter, then into cornflake crumbs, pressing to adhere. Place on a greased baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (160 degrees on a thermometer).
  • Mix mayonnaise and mustard to make the sauce, adjusting mustard to taste.

Notes

Variations include using different types of cheese or breadcrumbs. You can refrigerate stuffed chicken for up to a day or freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before baking.
