4 chicken breasts skinless and boneless

1/2 pound Gruyere, grated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup panko bread crumbs
4 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves only

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2
Lay the chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap.
3
Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
4
Remove the top sheet of plastic and lay 1 slice of prosciutto neatly over the top to cover the breast and sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the prosciutto.
5
Tuck in the sides of the breast and roll up tight like a jellyroll inside the plastic wrap.
6
Squeeze the log gently to seal and twist both ends tight to form a nice log.
7
Repeat with remaining chicken.

Season the flour with salt and pepper.
9
Mix the bread crumbs with thyme, garlic and kosher salt, pepper, and melted butter.
