If you don't have Swiss cheese, other cheese will work, including Mozzarella cheese, Provolone cheese or Havarti cheese.
We prefer French mustard for this recipe, but a different mustard will work as well.
For even more flavor, season the chicken with a few pepper flakes, or Italian Seasoning before spreading mustard.
