Season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Remove from the pan and set aside to rest.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Butter one side of each slice of sandwich bread.
Spread the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard mixture on the unbuttered side of two bread slices.
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on top of the mayonnaise spread, followed by one cooked chicken breast, 2 slices of ham, 1 leaf of lettuce, and a slice of tomato. Top with another slice of Swiss cheese.
Place the remaining bread slices on top, buttered side facing out.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches on the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, pressing down gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the heat and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing in half.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Ham and Cheese Chicken Sandwich!
