  • Slice in half and serve.

Notes

Choose to use a grainy Dijon mustard (like a Gray Poupon Country Dijon) or a honey mustard, based on your preference.
You can cook breaded chicken cutlets for this sandwich, however the crunch of the roll is good enough for me and I choose to go with rotisserie chicken for this sandwich, especially during the busy weekends at my house. Plus in my house...we want the ham as the star of the sandwich!
