Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound until about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Lay a slice of turkey and a piece of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast and roll tightly, securing with toothpicks.
  4. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with whisked eggs and milk, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder.
  5. Coat each chicken roll in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and roll in the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the chicken rolls for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the sautéed rolls to a greased baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
  8. Prepare the Swiss cheese sauce by melting butter in a saucepan, whisking in flour, gradually adding milk, and stirring in Swiss cheese until creamy.
  9. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing and serve drizzled with Swiss cheese sauce.
