• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup fine bread crumbs
• 6 chicken breast cutlets (approximately 1 pound)
• 4 ounces thinly-sliced ham or prosciutto
• 6 ounces sliced cheddar

Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour the melted butter in the bottom of a shallow (8 x 11-inch) baking dish.

Have three shallow bowls (or cake pans) set aside. In one bowl whisk together the flour, salt, garlic powder, and pepper.

Add eggs to the second and lightly beat. Place the bread crumbs to the third.

Pat chicken cutlets dry. Cover each cutlet with a slice of ham and a slice of cheese, and roll tightly.

Dip each chicken roll-up in the flour, shaking off the excess. Coat the roll-up in the egg, followed by the bread crumbs.

Tie the roll-up with kitchen string or secure with toothpicks. Place in the prepared baking dish and repeat with remaining cutlets.

Bake the chicken for 30-35 minutes, basting with butter a few times, until chicken is cooked through.

If the chicken is not golden brown, finish under the broiler for a couple of minutes.

Remove the kitchen twine. Serve hot, with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, if desired. (I like to mix the two, for dipping.)
