Step-by-Step Instructions for Malibu Chicken
  1. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for Panko breadcrumbs.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg wash, then coat with Panko breadcrumbs. Set aside.
  4. Heat a skillet with oil over medium heat. Cook chicken for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a greased baking dish.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F. Layer ham and Swiss cheese on each chicken piece. Bake for 15–20 minutes until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.
  6. Mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  7. Once chicken is done, drizzle the creamy sauce over each piece and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
