Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts
  • 4 slices ham
  • 4 slices cheese or 4 ounces of cheese, sliced. (we used provolone)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut out a wide pocket horizontally in each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  2. Stuff each chicken breast with 1 slice of ham and 1 slice (or 1 ounce) of cheese.
  3. In a small dish, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle each stuffed chicken breast with the seasoning.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. 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.)
  7. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan.
  8. Melt the butter in the skillet. Add in the garlic and thyme, sautéing for a minute.
  9. Add in the dijon mustard and chicken broth. Whisk to smooth out any lumps and scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
  10. Whisk in the flour.
  11. Turn the heat down to low, and add the chicken breasts back to the pan.
  12. Cover the pan, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  13. Uncover, and spoon the sauce over the chicken breasts before serving.
