Ham and Cheese Stuffed Chicken

Ham and Cheese Stuffed Chicken with Mustard Cream Sauce has the taste of Chicken Cordon Bleu and it makes an impressive and delicious meal, but it’s not at all difficult to make.

Stuffed chicken breasts are a big favorite of mine. There’s no easier way to ensure a chicken breast has tons of flavor. And with salty ham, gooey melted swiss cheese, and a little Dijon mustard stuffed inside, these chicken breasts are definitely not lacking in flavor.

A pocket is cut in each boneless chicken breast and they are filled with ham and cheese.

Once stuffed they are dipped in egg and coated with bread crumbs. Next they are pan-fried until golden on each side and popped in the oven to finish cooking. I find they cook a little more evenly in the oven.

Easy 3-Ingredient Sauce

A 3 ingredient sauce that is made in the microwave makes the perfect accompaniment for these Ham and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts.

Ovenproof Skillet

It’s best to use an oven-proof skillet, either cast iron or stainless steel, for this recipe since it will finish cooking in the oven. If not using an oven-proof skillet, transfer the chicken to a baking dish to finish cooking.

How To Serve

For a truly wonderful meal, serve Ham and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts with this Parmesan Rice and Lemon Butter Broccoli.

Variations
