Wrap each half in one slice of ham, folding ham over cheese to fully surround cheese. Place one ham bundle on each chicken breast. Tuck the narrow end of the chicken in towards the center for even cooking. Fold the chicken breast over the ham bundle. Sprinkle thyme over the top of each chicken breast., Put stuffed chicken breasts into a Medium or Large Ziploc® Zip 'n Steam™ Bag, with the thickest part of the chicken toward the outer edges of the bag.

Allow bag to stand 1 minute before handling. Meanwhile, for mustard sauce combine all ingredients in a small bowl., Carefully open bag. Use spatula to remove chicken from bag.
