Juicy chicken breasts are wrapped with Swiss cheese and ham, then breaded and baked to golden perfection, creating a savory, cheesy dish perfect for elegant dinners or family meals.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the supremes by wrapping each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese and then a slice of boiled ham.
- Secure each rolled chicken breast with wooden toothpicks.
- Beat the eggs in a shallow dish.
- Dip each chicken supreme into the beaten eggs, then roll in seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Place the coated supremes in a shallow baking dish with melted butter.
- Bake in a 350°F (175°C) oven on the low rack for 35 minutes, turning only once during cooking.
- Baste the supremes often with melted butter, adding more if necessary during baking.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, you can use turkey breast instead of chicken. If Swiss cheese is unavailable, try using mozzarella or provolone as a substitute. To add extra flavor, consider seasoning the breadcrumbs with garlic powder or Italian herbs. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serving Suggestions
These rolled chicken supremes pair beautifully with a light salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. For added flavor, serve with a Mustard-Balsamic Vinegar Sauce, which complements the richness of the cheese and ham. You can also serve them alongside mashed potatoes or rice to soak up any juices.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover rolled chicken supremes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can use a microwave but be cautious not to overcook, as this can dry out the chicken.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare these chicken supremes ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolled chicken supremes a day in advance. After rolling them, cover and refrigerate until you are ready to bake. This allows the flavors to meld, and it makes dinner prep easier.
What can I use instead of breadcrumbs?
If you don't have seasoned breadcrumbs, you can crush crackers or use panko for a crunchier texture. Alternatively, ground almonds or gluten-free breadcrumbs can be used for a low-carb option.
How can I ensure the chicken stays moist?
Basting the chicken supremes with melted butter during baking helps keep them moist. Additionally, avoid overcooking by monitoring the internal temperature closely and turning them only once during the cooking process.
