Ingredients

  • 4 chicken cutlets ¼ inch thick
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 slices Black Forest Ham
  • 8 slices Swiss Cheese Slices
  • Fresh parsley finely chopped, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat BBQ grill to medium heat. Place a baking stone on the grill to preheat.
  • Brush both sides of the chicken cutlets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the cutlets about 2 minutes on each side. Chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Lay bread on baking sheet. Butter one side of the bread and spread Dijon mustard on the other side. Place a grilled chicken cutlet on top of the mustard. Top each piece of chicken with sliced ham and then 2 slices of Swiss Cheese.
  • Place cheese side up on the baking stone and cook until the cheese is melted and the bottom of the bread is golden brown. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and serve open faced. Serve immediately.

Notes

Note: You can also bake the sandwiches in a pre-heated 350° oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is hot, bubbly, and starting to brown.
