Low Carb

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice each chicken breast horizontally to form a pocket.

Brush each ham slice with mustard and fold in half. Fold a cheese slice around each ham slice. Insert in pockets of chicken and secure with toothpicks.

Melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in butter until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Place skillet in oven. Bake chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted in center of the meat registers 180 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes.

Variation:
Turn this recipe into a hearty Reuben-style chicken dish by using prepared Thousand Island dressing instead of Dijon-style mustard and serving the chicken with sauerkraut and slices of toasted rye bread. It's not quite as low carb as Chicken Cordon Bleu, but it's close!
