Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 3 large chicken breasts sliced lengthwise or pounded to an even thickness
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3/4 cups Italian bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 6 pieces of sliced ham
- 6 pieces of Swiss cheese
For the dipping sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
For the chicken
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with tin foil. Place an oven safe rack inside your tray on top of the cookie sheet. Set aside for later.
- Whisk together the melted butter and 2 tablespoons of Dijon in a shallow bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the Italian breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dip the chicken into the butter mixture followed by the breadcrumbs. Make sure to coat evenly. For a crispier finish, you can double dip.
- Transfer the coated chicken pieces to the prepared cookie sheet, placing directly on the rack. Mist with cooking spray, I like avocado oil, and bake 20 to 25 minutes. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
- The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Top the chicken with a slice of ham followed by a slice of cheese. Bake an additional 3-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
For the dipping sauce
- Combine all of the ingredients for the dipping sauce in a small bowl. Mix until combined. Serve with the chicken.

Notes
We often make this chicken without the ham and cheese. It is a great quick dinner. The Dijon gives the chicken a burst of flavor.
