Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 slices of ham
– 8 slices of Swiss cheese

Instructions
Creating the perfect Malibu Chicken is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
3. Season: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
4. Assemble: Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast.
5. Roll It Up: Carefully roll the chicken breasts up, starting from one end, to enclose the ham and cheese completely.
6. Secure with Toothpicks: Use toothpicks to secure the ends of the rolls so that the filling stays intact while cooking.
7. Dredge in Flour: Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each rolled chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.
8. Prepare Egg Wash: In another bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each floured chicken roll into the egg wash, letting the excess drip off.
9. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Finally, coat each chicken roll in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure even coverage.
10. Sear Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
11. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
12. Let It Rest: Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Remove toothpicks carefully.
These steps will guide you to achieve the most flavorful and satisfying Malibu Chicken with ease.
