Simple Chicken Cordon Bleu with Cheese and Ham

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp. grainy mustard
• 2 tbsp. l. mascarpone cheese
• 2 tbsp. l. olive oil
• 4 chicken breast fillets weighing 140 g each.
• Coarse salt
• 4 large thin slices Emmentaler or Swiss cheese (about 100 g)
• 8 thin slices of ham (about 100 g)

Preparation:

1. In a small bowl, combine mustard and mascarpone. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to grill mode.
3. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and continue heating for 1 minute. Sprinkle the chicken breasts evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt.
4. Place the chicken breasts in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Turn the chicken over and continue cooking until fully cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Place half a slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Place 2 slices of ham on top of the cheese on each breast.
6. Spread the mustard sauce evenly over the ham and top with the remaining cheese slices. Broil in the oven until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
