What to do

Combine the marinade ingredients and blend well. Do the same with the sauce ingredients, in a separate bowl.
Cover the chicken with the marinade and keep it in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Lift the chicken out and throw the marinade away. Grill until cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side, brushing with the barbecue sauce as it cooks.
When the chicken is done, leave it on the grill and lay a slice of ham and a slice of cheese on each piece. Cook just long enough to warm the ham and melt the cheese.
Serve right away.
