Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 slices ham
- 8 slices Swiss cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 drops Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
- Set up your breading station: fill three shallow dishes with flour, beaten eggs, and seasoned panko breadcrumbs.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness between sheets of plastic wrap.
- Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Cook the breaded chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to the baking dish and layer each piece with ham and Swiss cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce for the sauce.
- Serve hot, drizzling the sauce over the chicken or on the side.
Notes
For a healthier twist, substitute whole wheat breadcrumbs or turkey ham. Consider using an air fryer for a quicker cooking option.
