  5. Coat the chicken in flour, then beat egg, and finally press into the breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until melted.
  7. Cook the breaded chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  8. Layer Swiss cheese and ham on the chicken, covering with a lid for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
