Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 4 thin slices deli ham
  • 4 thin slices swiss cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 3/4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)

Directions

Step 1
Carefully cut a pocket in each chicken breast, ensuring you do not slice through completely. Add one slice of ham and one slice of cheese to each chicken breast pocket. Fold chicken back over to close. Season breasts with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, pinch of pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a cast iron skillet and coat with olive oil. Sear chicken on both sides. Turn off heat and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Step 3
Make sauce by adding heavy cream, lemon juice, and mustard to a small pot. Heat on high for 5-6 minutes until thickened. Season with remaining garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with parsley if desired.
