# How to Make It:

01 - Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to 0.5–1.25 cm thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
02 - Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with Panko breadcrumbs.
03 - Dredge each seasoned chicken breast in flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat evenly in seasoned Panko breadcrumbs.
04 - Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking dish.
05 - Top each piece of fried chicken with a slice of ham and then a slice of Swiss cheese.
06 - Bake chicken in preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, until an internal temperature of 74°C is reached and cheese is melted.
07 - In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
08 - Drizzle mustard sauce over cooked chicken just before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Ensure chicken is thinly and evenly pounded for uniform cooking.
02 - Allow chicken to rest briefly after baking for optimal juiciness.
03 - Gluten-free and dairy-free alternatives are suggested in ingredient notes.
