If Swiss cheese is too strong a flavor for you, try using baby Swiss!
If chicken cutlets are too expensive or aren't available in your local supermarket, you can create your own by gently pounding chicken breasts (boneless) between sheets of waxed paper until they are flattened to 1/4-inch thick.

If you want to use breast strips, that's no problem. Just don't roll them and adjust cooking time to account for smaller pieces.
