Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 4 slices ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a large zip-top bag. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/4-inch.
Step 3
On each flattened chicken breast, lay down a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese. Roll up the chicken carefully to enclose the filling, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
Step 4
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.
Step 5
In another shallow dish, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Step 6
Dip each rolled chicken breast into the egg wash, ensuring all sides are coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
Step 7
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken rolls, seam side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 9
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks, if used.
Step 10
Serve the Keto Breaded Chicken Cordon Bleu hot, slicing each roll into rounds if desired, and enjoy.
