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.
Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound cutlets 1/2-inch thick.
Use half of the marinade for the chicken, reserving remaining for Hot Mangoes & Peppers.
