Make a slit in the side of each chicken breast using a sharp paring knife. Set aside.

Roll ham slices around the cheese and insert into the slit in the chicken breast.
Secure the opening with a wooden skewer or large toothpicks.
Mix rice flour and paprika together on a large plate. Set aside.
Beat eggs and water together in a small bowl. Set aside.
Mix panko crumbs with thyme on a second large plate. Set aside.
Dredge each of the stuffed chicken breasts in the flour mixture. Then dip in the eggs, and dredge in the panko mixture. Set aside.
Heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the coated chicken breasts in the oil and cook until golden brown, about 7 minutes.
Flip the chicken over and cook on the second side until golden brown and cooked through to 165 degrees.
Remove from skillet, place on a plate, cover with aluminium foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Add the flour and whisk to combine. Simmer while continuing to whisk for 2 minutes.
Add the Dijon mustard, onion powder, and thyme, whisk.
Pour in the milk or stock and whisk while cooking until thickened.
