Ingredients
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 8 ounces each)
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 thin slices Swiss cheese (about 4 ounces)
4 slices smoked deli ham, such as Black Forest (about 4 ounces)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1/2 small clove garlic, finely grated
Chopped fresh chives, for topping
Directions
- Preheat a grill to medium. Butterfly the chicken: Cut each breast horizontally about halfway through the thickest part and then open like a book. Gently pound each breast between 2 sheets of parchment to an even 1/4-inch thickness, taking care to not tear the chicken.
- Lightly drizzle the chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Layer a slice of cheese, ham and another slice of cheese on each chicken breast. Roll up into a log and secure with toothpicks; if there are any tears in the meat, roll up the torn side first so the cheese isn’t exposed. Rub each roll with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the chicken, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, make the sauce: Stir together the sour cream, 3 tablespoons water, the lemon juice, mustard and garlic; season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the sauce onto a platter. Remove the toothpicks from the chicken, twisting if they are stuck, and slice the rolls. Arrange over the sauce and sprinkle with chives.
