A flavorful twist on a classic chicken dish, combining savory ingredients for a delightful meal.
Flatten the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Place the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap to avoid mess while flattening.
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg lightly. In another bowl, mix the salt and pepper.
Ensure the egg is well beaten for an even coating.
Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, then coat with the salt and pepper mixture.
Press the chicken gently into the mixture to ensure it adheres well.
In an ovenproof skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Sauté the onions and mushrooms until tender, then remove and set aside.
Stir occasionally to prevent the vegetables from sticking.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Top each chicken breast with a slice of ham, the sautéed onions and mushrooms, and a slice of Swiss cheese.
Layer the ingredients neatly for an appealing presentation.
Place the skillet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep a close eye on the broiler to prevent burning.
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of your choice for a complete meal.
