Instructions
- Cut out a wide pocket horizontally in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice (or 1 ounce) of cheese.
- In a small dish, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle each stuffed chicken breast with the seasoning.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once heated, add the chicken breasts to the pan, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned, but not cooked through. (You may need to do this in two batches depending on the size of your chicken breasts and pan.)
- Remove the chicken breasts from the pan.
- Melt the butter in the skillet. Add in the garlic and thyme, sautéing for a minute.
- Add in the dijon mustard and chicken broth. Whisk to smooth out any lumps and scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
- Whisk in the flour.
- Turn the heat down to low, and add the chicken breasts back to the pan.
- Cover the pan, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Uncover, and spoon the sauce over the chicken breasts before serving.
