Step #2: Rinse the boneless skinless chicken breasts with water and place them in a bowl. Step #3: Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure to coat each breast completely. Let it sit for 2 or more hours, or overnight, in the refrigerator. Step #4: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Step #5: Place the marinated chicken breasts in a baking pan, and bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Step #6: While the chicken is cooking, whisk together the mustard and honey drizzle. Set aside for now. Step #7: Remove the dish from the oven, and drain the liquid from the dish. You can siphon it out with a turkey baster or take the chicken out of the dish, pour off the excess liquid, and return the chicken to the baking dish. Step #8: Brush a small amount of the drizzle over each chicken breast. Step #9: Arrange the shaved ham over each individual chicken breast, using ¼ of the ham on each chicken breast. Step #10: Return the dish to the oven to bake for 7 more minutes. Step #11: Remove the dish from the oven, and sprinkle ¼ cup of the grated Swiss cheese over each chicken breast topped with ham. Step #12: Return the dish to the oven and bake for 2-3 more minutes, just to melt the cheese. Step #13: Remove the dish from the oven, and place the chicken on a serving platter or directly on your plate. Step #14: Pour in a zig-zag motion ¼ of the remaining drizzle over each plated chicken breast, and eat! Bon Appétit! To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator if frozen. Warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 15 minutes or until heated through. You can also reheat in the microwave.
