Finely grind pistachios in food processor. Transfer to a bowl and mix with Panko, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. In a separate bowl, mix 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons honey, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Lay 1 slice of ham over each chicken breast then sprinkle evenly with cheese. Fold in the edges of the ham over the cheese as you roll the chicken up (to keep the cheese from oozing out). Secure chicken roll with toothpicks.
4
Coat chicken in prepared honey/Dijon/olive oil then dredge in Pistachio breading, turning and pressing crumbs firmly into chicken. Place chicken on prepared baking rack evenly spaced apart then spray with cooking spray.
