Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease a baking dish.
- Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound to even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Lay one slice of turkey and one slice of cheese onto each chicken breast.
- Fold the chicken over or roll it tightly around the filling, securing with toothpicks if needed.
- Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
- Coat each stuffed chicken breast in flour, dip into egg, then cover completely with breadcrumb mixture.
- Arrange chicken on prepared tray and drizzle with olive oil or melted butter for extra crispiness.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before removing toothpicks and serving.
Notes
Chef’s Tips
- Double coat in egg and breadcrumbs for an extra crunchy crust.
- Avoid overstuffing to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep the filling intact.
- Serve with a light mustard cream sauce or garlic aioli for extra flavour.
