Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices Thinly sliced ham
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese
  • 1 cup Almond flour
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Carefully butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, leaving one side intact to create a pocket.

Step 3

Place two slices of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese inside each chicken breast. Fold the chicken breast over to enclose the filling.

Step 4

In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 5

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.

Step 6

Dip each filled chicken breast first in the beaten eggs to coat, then in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's fully covered.

Step 7

In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, heat the butter and olive oil.

Step 8

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 10

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy your Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu.
