Prepare the Chicken:
- Take each breast and butterfly it, by cutting it horizontally across the center, but not all the way through, so you can flip it open.
- Season the meat with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Place two pieces of cheese on a cutting board, one above the other, the sides should slightly overlap. Same way, top with two pieces of ham, and roll together.
- Place the roll-up onto the butterflied chicken and top it with the other side. Now the chicken is stuffed with the cheese and ham roll-up. Secure it inside by placing a few toothpicks on the cut/opening side of it.
- Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes if you have time.
- Dip chicken in the egg and flour mixture, after that toss into the breadcrumbs mixture.
- Place into the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Spray the top with cooking spray and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165F.
Lemon Aioli:
- Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and stir until fully combined.
