I make these a couple times a month. Just a tip....after you pound out your chicken, spread a thin layer of honey mustard sauce on top, then build accordingly. Just adds another nice layer of flaver. After all, what goes best on ham and swiss, mustard of course. Mayo,honey,Dijon, whisk.....done.

Excellent, in fact this would be impressive company fare! My husband made positive comments several times....we both thought it was just so flavorful. The chicken stayed nice and moist. A small amount of cheese oozed out but could easily be scooped along with the roulades onto your plate. I made as directed using deli Swiss and ham off the bone type ham. I chose to up the temp to 375....the breasts were really large even after pounding and @ 325 x's 30 min, I wasn't sure they'd really be done. We're very cautious about poultry cooking times. At 375 x's 30 the internal temp was 165 they were done, still nice and moist. I served them with Bobby Deen's Almond Pilaf........super good! Another great recipe Mr. Food!!!!
