Ingredients

  • 4 1 lb thin boneless chicken cutlets
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 1/4 cups pickle juice (enough to cover chicken)
  • 1/3 cup seasoned wheat or gluten-free breadcrumbs*
  • 4 teaspoons deli mustard
  • 1/3 cup seasoned wheat or gluten-free panko*
  • 2 oz thin sliced reduced sodium deli ham
  • cooking spray
  • 2 oz shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1-2 dill pickles (sliced very thin lengthwise, dried on paper towel (I used a mandolin))
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place chicken in a shallow bowl and cover with pickle juice (enough to cover completely). Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours.
  2. Follow steps 1-5.
  3. After 8 hours, drain and dry the chicken completely on paper towels; discard marinade.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400F. Transfer to the air fryer basket in two batches until golden outside and cooked through in the center, about 12 minutes, turning half way.
  5. Preheat oven to 425F. Spray a baking sheet with oil.
  6. Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard over each piece of chicken. Layer the ham on top, then the Swiss cheese and pickles along the center and roll.
  7. Place egg in a medium bowl. In a shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs and panko. Dip chicken in the egg wash, then into the breadcrumb mixture and shake off excess.
  8. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spray the top generously with oil. Bake 25 minutes, until golden outside and cooked through.

Notes

  • *only 1/4 cup of each gets used in breading, so I subtracted what got thrown out from the macros.
