Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 4 slices Thinly sliced ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Crushed pork rinds
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Step 2
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
Step 3
Lay one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on each pounded chicken breast. Roll each breast tightly, tucking in the ends to form a neat, compact roll. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Step 4
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, crushed pork rinds, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 6
Dip each chicken roll in the beaten eggs, ensuring it's completely coated.
Step 7
Roll the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing down gently to adhere the mixture to the chicken surface.
Step 8
Place the chicken rolls seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
Step 9
Drizzle the tops of the chicken with the olive oil.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Remove any toothpicks before serving.
