Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound thinly sliced chicken * see notes
  • 4 slices ham
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 ½ cups gluten free panko or bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 egg

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, add an egg and mix well.
  • In a second bowl, add the panko and seasoning and mix well.
  • Take a thinly sliced chicken breast and lay it on a plate. Add a slice of ham and Swiss cheese on top.
  • Slowly roll the chicken breast around and secure it with toothpicks.
  • Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  • Dip each roll into the egg mixture, then roll it around the panko mixture.
  • Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes to 350º F. To cook in your air fryer, spray the fryer lightly with oil. Add your chicken rolls and spray the oil mist onto the chicken. Cook for 12 minutes at 360º F. Open the air fryer and turn the chicken over. Cook an additional 5 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the rolls to ensure it is 165º F.
  • To cook in the oven, preheat your oven to 350º F. Add your chicken rolls to a greased 8x8 pan. Mist oil over the chicken and bake for 30 minutes. Check the internal temperature like above. (*see note)

Notes

  1. These days you can buy chicken breasts sliced thinly. If you can't find them at your local grocery store, you can use a meat pounder to flatten your chicken breasts.
  2. Cooking time will vary depending on how thick your chicken is sliced, and how large each roll is.
  3. You can use gluten free panko, bread crumbs, or even Trader Joe's rice crumbs.
  4. Make homemade gluten free bread crumbs, which are so much less expensive than store-bought.
  5. This chicken will keep up to 4 days in an air-tight container, or up to 4 months in the freezer.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
