480 mL milk

Method

Preparation

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Cut a pocket in each chicken breast and stuff with Swiss cheese and ham slices.

Breading

Dip the stuffed chicken breasts in flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko bread crumbs.

Cooking

Heat oil in a pan and fry the breaded chicken until golden brown and cooked through.

Sauce Preparation

In a saucepan, melt butter, sauté the minced garlic, then whisk in flour.
Gradually add milk, Dijon mustard, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

Notes

For extra crunch, consider double-coating the chicken by dipping it in the egg and breadcrumbs twice. You can also use different types of cheese or swap ham for turkey for variation.
