With a rich Dijon mustard cream sauce and a sprinkle of Parmesan, it’s the perfect weeknight meal that’s both quick and indulgent.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
  • 4 slices of ham (or turkey for a leaner option)
  • 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free version)
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 12 oz pasta (penne or rotini work great)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, add the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine.
  4. Let the cream mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly. Add in the Swiss and Parmesan cheeses, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.
  6. If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle them over the top of the pasta and place under a broiler for 2-3 minutes to crisp them up.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
