Ingredients

16 Oz Chicken Breast
1/2 Tsp Salt
1/2 Tsp Pepper
1/4 Cup Wheat Flour
2/3 Cup Chicken Broth
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 Tsp Butter
1 1/2 Tsp Olive Oil
3 Oz Sliced Ham
3 Oz Swiss Cheese

Directions

Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.

Place the flour in a shallow dish.

Lightly dredge the chicken with flour on both sides, shaking off the excess and reserving the flour.

In a small bowl combine the chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of the reserved flour, whisk until smooth.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Melt the butter and add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and half of the chicken.

Cook 2-4 minutes on each side (depending on thickness), until slightly golden and cooked through, then transfer to a dish.

Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and remaining chicken and cook 2-4 minutes on each side.

Set aside on a dish with the other pieces of chicken.

Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the chicken broth mixture.

Whisk scraping up any bits stuck to the pan then simmer 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Return the chicken to the skillet, top each piece with a slice of ham and a slice of swiss, cover the skillet and simmer medium-low for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese melts.

To serve use a spatula and transfer the chicken to each dish, spoon the remaining sauce over each piece.
