3 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 (1/4-inch) slices deli-baked ham

1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a roasting pan; set aside.
2. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Pound with a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Spread each breast with 1 tablespoon mustard, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Sprinkle each breast with thyme, salt, and pepper. Layer ham and cheese slices on each breast.
