Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Here are the steps to bring this delightful dish to your dinner table.

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, using a meat mallet.
  3. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
  5. Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  6. Coat each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  8. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Top each piece with two slices of ham and two slices of cheese.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
  10. For an optional glaze, mix the Dijon mustard and honey in a small bowl and drizzle over the chicken before serving.

Enjoy the crispy crunch and cheesy goodness with every bite. It’s the kind of meal that makes you feel like a culinary rockstar, even on the busiest of days.
