Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound each chicken breast to about ¼ inch thickness. Layer with chicken ham and Swiss cheese. Roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
Dredge each roll in flour seasoned with salt and pepper, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear each roll for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer to a baking dish and bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
For the sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, whisk in flour, gradually add milk until smooth. Stir in Dijon mustard and grated Parmesan cheese until thickened.
