I was in the mood for something different and this recipe hit the mark. This is quick and simple to make. I paired this with Cheddar and Chives Zucchini Bread and a sauté of squash, onion, and green pepper. Note: You can use whole chicken breasts.

Salt and pepper
7-8 slices of deli ham
3-4 slices of Swiss cheese cut in half

Preheat grill to high heat.
Grill chicken for 5 minutes and then flip.
Grill 3 minutes then wrap each piece in ham. Grill 1 minute.
Top each with Swiss cheese and grill 1 more minute.
Serve with honey mustard or a green goddess dressing if desired.

½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon chipotle chili powder
Directions:
Rub steaks with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Mix spices in a small bowl and rub on both sides of steaks at least 2-3 hours before grilling.
Refrigerate steaks until 30 minutes prior to grilling.
Grill on high for 5 minutes per side (longer if you prefer well done steaks).
Let steaks rest at least 5 minutes before slicing.
Enjoy!
(I served this with a roasted sweet potato and za’atar squash spiral fries.)
I usually make a vanilla cake and top it with strawberries and blueberries in an American Flag pattern for the fourth of July. This year I decided to try a whipped cream frosting to lighten it up. Note: This cake tastes even better after refrigerating. …
