Directions

1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
2. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing horizontally about three-quarters of the way through and opening like a book. Cover with plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness, then discard the wrap.
3. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Lay slices of ham and provolone on each piece of chicken. Roll up tightly, tucking in the sides as needed, and place seam-side down.
5. Set up three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten egg in another, and breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge each roll in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere, and transfer to the prepared sheet seam-side down.
6. Drizzle the rolls with olive oil and bake until the coating is golden and the chicken reaches 165°F, about 18–22 minutes. Rest 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
