  2. Pound the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness of about ¼ inch and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Layer two slices of ham and Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks.
  4. Dredge each roll in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the chicken rolls for about 4-5 minutes.
  6. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  7. Prepare the creamy sauce by heating heavy cream, adding Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  8. Remove the chicken from the oven, discard toothpicks, let rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with the creamy sauce and garnish with parsley.
