Ingredients

Sauce

Sandwiches

  • 2 hamburger buns
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 8 ounces chicken cutlets pounded to ¼ inch thick each
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse ground pepper
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 4 slices black forest ham

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl whisk together the mayo, Dijon, and honey together. Set aside.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and butter both sides of each bun. Place each bun half butter side down and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast each bun. Remove to a plate and use a generous amount of sauce on both sides of each bun.
  • To the same skillet, add the oil and heat over medium heat.
  • Pat dry each chicken piece and sprinkle both sides with the salt, onion powder, and pepper. Pan fry one piece of chicken one side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip over and place 2 pieces of cheese on the chicken breast. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 F. During the last minute add 2 pieces of ham to the other side of the pan to heat through. Place the ham on top of the cheese. Use a spatula to place the chicken/cheese/ham stack on a prepared bun and cook the second chicken sandwich the same way. If there’s no oil left in your pan, add an additional tablespoon.
  • Enjoy warm with fries or chips, if desired.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken for doneness, if needed. Each piece should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165F.
  • If you have extra, store the ingredients in separate containers in the refrigerator. If you have any assembled sandwiches left, they may become soggy.
  • Try baking the chicken cutlets in the oven instead of searing them in a skillet, if you prefer.
