Step 1
Lay each chicken breast on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound until about 1/4 inch thick, using a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy pan.
Step 2
Place one ham slice and one Swiss slice on each chicken breast. Roll tightly and use toothpicks to seal the seams.
Step 3
Set up three shallow bowls: flour in the first, beaten egg in the second, panko in the third. Coat each bundle in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Slide both bundles in and sear 5 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 5
Slice the cucumber into rounds. Toss with the salad greens, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 6
Transfer chicken to a plate, remove toothpicks, and serve alongside the cucumber salad.
