Description
Juicy grilled chicken breasts stuffed with ham and Swiss cheese, offering a simple yet impressive dish perfect for weeknights or entertaining.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices of ham
- 4 slices of Swiss cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for brushing the chicken)
- 1/4 cup olive oil (for the vinaigrette)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (for extra punch)
- Salt and pepper (for vinaigrette)
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Cut a pocket into each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
- Stuff each pocket with ham and Swiss cheese, securing if needed.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then brush lightly with olive oil.
- Whisk together the Dijon vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl.
- Grill the chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked.
- Rest the chicken for 5 minutes before slicing and drizzle with vinaigrette.
Notes
Swiss cheese can be substituted with Gruyère or provolone. A slightly thicker-cut ham provides better texture on the grill.
