Cut a pocket into each chicken breast, fill each with ham and Swiss cheese, and coat them with flour, salt, and pepper for 5 minutes.
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat and brown the chicken for 5 minutes.
Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, turning once, until the chicken reaches 165 F.
Transfer the chicken to a plate, then whisk the broth, cornstarch, cream, and Dijon mustard into the skillet and simmer for 7 minutes.
