- 1.25 cups pickle juice enough to cover chicken
For Filling and Coating
- 4 teaspoons deli mustard
- 2 oz thin sliced reduced sodium deli ham

- 1 large egg beaten
- 0.33 cup seasoned wheat breadcrumbs

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Place chicken in a shallow bowl and cover with pickle juice. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
- After marinating, drain and thoroughly dry the chicken on paper towels. Discard the marinade.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard over each piece of chicken. Layer the ham on top, then the Swiss cheese and thinly sliced pickles along the center. Roll up each chicken breast tightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg. In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and panko. Dip each chicken roll-up first into the beaten egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess.
- Place the coated chicken roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops generously with cooking spray. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
These can also be cooked in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
