Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Four boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each about 5 ounces
- Kosher salt
- 4 large thin slices Emmentaler or Swiss cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 8 thin slices Black Forest ham (about 4 ounces)
Instructions
- Combine the mustard and mascarpone in a small bowl and set aside.
- Preheat your broiler to high.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high flame. Pour in the olive oil and let it warm for another minute. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt evenly over the chicken breasts. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook the first side until it turns golden, about 4 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Place half a slice of cheese on each piece of chicken, then top each with two slices of ham. Spread the mustard-mascarpone mixture evenly over the ham, then cover with the remaining cheese slices. Broil the chicken until the cheese melts, bubbles, and turns golden, roughly 2 minutes.
