Step-by-Step Instructions for Cubano Chicken

Marinate the chicken by submerging cutlets in pickle juice. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
Prepare chicken cutlets by draining pickle juice and patting them dry. Spread deli mustard on each cutlet.
Layer reduced sodium deli ham, shredded Swiss cheese, and dill pickles on each cutlet.
Roll each chicken cutlet tightly around the fillings and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Beat an egg in a shallow bowl and dip rolled cutlets in the egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs.
Cook in oven preheated to 425°F for 25 minutes or air fryer at 400°F for 12 minutes, flipping halfway.
Cool slightly, remove toothpicks, slice, and serve with salad or fries.
