A Regular Guys Recipe

Saute the chicken breasts in 1 TBS butter over medium heat, 6 to 8 minutes per side.  Remove the chicken and saute the ham slices until they are heated through.  Place both the chicken and ham in a warm oven while finishing the sauce.  Add the cream to the skillet and bring to a boil.  Allow the cream to be reduced to about half and then add the cider.  Reduce heat a simmer for one minute.  Whisk in 1 TBS butter and lemon juice.  Season with salt and pepper.  Remove from heat.

Slice the english muffins and toast them.  To serve, place two english muffin halfs on a plate, cover with a slice of country ham, top that with a chicken breast and then pour sauce over everything.
