Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Juicy breaded chicken Use chicken breasts or thighs
  • 4 slices Savory ham Use your preferred type of ham
  • 4 slices Melted Swiss cheese Can substitute with cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup Honey mustard sauce For drizzling
Breading and Cooking Ingredients
  • 1 cup Bread crumbs For coating the chicken
  • 1/2 cup Flour For dredging
  • 2 large Eggs Beaten, for coating
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • Oil as needed Oil (for frying or baking) Heat enough oil for frying or use a baking sheet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat oil in a pan for frying.
  2. Prepare the chicken by tenderizing and seasoning it with salt and pepper.
  3. Dredge the chicken in flour, then dip it in beaten eggs, and coat it with bread crumbs.
Cooking
  1. In a frying pan, cook the breaded chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 4-5 minutes each side) or place it on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes.
  2. Once cooked, layer each piece of chicken with ham and Swiss cheese.
  3. Drizzle the chicken with honey mustard sauce and return it to the oven until the cheese is melted.
  4. Serve hot and enjoy your restaurant-style Malibu chicken!

Notes

Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure a crispy coating. You can use other cheeses if preferred; cheddar or mozzarella works well too. For extra flavor, add some Italian herbs to the breading mixture. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
