Instructions

Whisk together zest, lime juice, ⅓ cup oil, honey, onion, garlic, and 1 tsp. salt in a bowl. Set aside marinade, reserving half for Hot Mangoes & Peppers.

Pound chicken breasts to ½-inch thickness using the flat side of a meat mallet. Marinate chicken with half the marinade, turning to coat. Cover bowl and refrigerate chicken 15 minutes.

Whisk together milk, mustard, mayonnaise, and pickle relish for the sauce in a small saucepan; cook over low heat while chicken grills.

Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush grill grate with oil. Remove chicken from marinade. Discard marinade.

Grill chicken, covered, 4 minutes. Flip chicken; top each breast with a folded slice of ham and 2 Tbsp. cheese. Grill chicken until cheese melts, 4 minutes more; remove from grill and keep warm.

Coat baguette slices with 2 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and pepper. Toast bread on grill, 1 minute per side.

Serve chicken over grilled bread; drizzle with mustard sauce.
