Malibu Chicken Recipe

Updated on July 31st, 2025

This Malibu chicken recipe is a crispy, cheesy, and satisfying dinner inspired by the beloved version served at Sizzler restaurants. Each breaded chicken breast is topped with a slice of ham and melty Swiss cheese, then paired with a creamy honey mustard sauce for dipping. It’s easy to prepare, packed with savory flavor, and great for a family meal or casual dinner. Whether you’ve had the original or not, this homemade version brings restaurant-style comfort right to your table.

Why this recipe works

• Crispy and flavorful coating: Panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder create a golden crust that stays crisp and full of flavor.
• Moist and tender chicken: Marinating in egg yolk and garlic helps keep the chicken juicy while adding richness to every bite.
• Savory, creamy layers: Thin slices of ham and Swiss cheese melt over the chicken, adding a salty, creamy finish that complements the crispy coating.
• Easy homemade dipping sauce: The honey mustard sauce made with mayo, mustard, and honey is quick to mix and adds a sweet and tangy touch.

Serving suggestions

• Pair with flavored rice: A side of seasoned rice or rice pilaf balances the richness of the chicken and adds a nice texture contrast.
• Add steamed or roasted vegetables: Broccoli, green beans, or carrots make an easy, colorful side that rounds out the plate.
• Serve with a fresh salad: A light green salad with vinaigrette helps cut through the richness and adds a refreshing element to the meal.
• Great for meal prep: Leftovers reheat well, especially if you keep the sauce separate, making it a practical option for next-day lunches.
