Classic comfort food and acid reflux management don't always feel like natural partners, but this baked version of a beloved stuffed chicken dish is genuinely built for sensitive stomachs. The recipe skips deep frying entirely — the rolls are drizzled with melted butter and baked at high heat instead, which means you get that satisfying golden crust without the heavy oil load that can trigger symptoms. Sweet paprika and dried thyme do the seasoning work here, keeping things flavorful while avoiding the garlic, onion, and spicy ingredients that are so often the culprit in reflux flare-ups. Lean ham and Swiss cheese tuck neatly inside each pounded breast, and the whole thing bakes up juicy and golden in about 35 minutes. The pan sauce comes together from butter, flour, low-sodium chicken broth, and a splash of milk — simple, mild, and creamy without being heavy. A five-minute rest before slicing keeps all those savory juices locked inside. This recipe serves four, making it a solid option for a weeknight dinner that feels genuinely special without the aftermath.
