Who is always looking for fun healthy ways to spice up dinner time? (Raises hand)! I love trying new recipes that are so flavorful and fun but easy on the calories! This recipe is just that! What a fun and yummy recipe for dinner. We for sure will be putting this in our dinner rotation :)

INGREDIENTS

4 thin boneless, skinless cutlets, 4 oz each
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon butter
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
2/3 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 thin slices low sodium deli ham, I use Boar’s Head (3 oz total)
4 slices light Swiss Cheese
chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Cooking Instructions:

Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
Place the flour and whisked egg in your Pampered Chef coating trays. Lightly dredge the chicken with flour on both sides, shaking off the excess reserving the flour.
In a small bowl combine the chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and 1 teaspoon of the reserved flour, whisk with Pampered Chef stainless steel whisk until smooth.
Heat your 12" Pampered Chef cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Melt the butter and add 1 teaspoon of the olive oil and half of the chicken.
Cook 2 minutes on each side, until slightly golden, then transfer to a dish.
Add remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and remaining chicken and cook 2 minutes on each side.
Set aside on a dish with the other pieces of chicken.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the chicken broth mixture. Whisk scraping up any bits stuck to the pan then simmer 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet, top each piece with a slice of ham and a slice of swiss, cover the skillet and simmer medium-low for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese melts.
To serve use your Pampered Chef silicone & wood spatula and transfer the chicken to each dish, spoon the remaining sauce over each piece.
