Step 1
Pound each chicken breast to 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Place 1 ham slice and 1 cheese slice on each breast, then roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Step 3
Set up three shallow dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Dredge each roll in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing to coat.
Step 4
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the rolls, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer to a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 6
Serve with a simple salad of lettuce, tomato, red onion, and lime wedges, if desired.
