• 1.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 3

Lay one slice of smoked turkey and one slice of dairy-free mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast.

Step 4

Roll each chicken breast tightly starting from one end to the other, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 5

In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 6

In another bowl, beat the eggs with the almond milk.

Step 7

Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Step 8

Dredge each chicken roll in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

Step 9

In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Add the chicken rolls and cook, turning, until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.

Step 12

Remove the toothpicks before serving.

Step 13

Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
