Malibu Chicken Recipe with Creamy Mustard Sauce
Crispy breaded chicken topped with turkey ham and Swiss cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts pounded thin
- 4 slices turkey ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon halal-certified Worcestershire sauce optional
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil or butter.
- Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip the chicken into the beaten eggs until completely coated.
- Cover each piece with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently so the coating sticks.
- Cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and creamy.
- Place one slice of turkey ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on top of each chicken breast.
- Cover the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes or place the chicken under a broiler until the cheese has melted.
- Drizzle the creamy mustard sauce over the chicken and serve immediately. This Malibu Chicken Recipe pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp green salad.
Notes
- Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, steamed broccoli, or buttered rice.
- Mozzarella or provolone cheese can be substituted for Swiss cheese.
- Replace part of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter sauce.
- Use gluten-free flour and gluten-free panko breadcrumbs to make the recipe gluten-free.
- Always use halal-certified Worcestershire sauce if including it.
