Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 4 slices Swiss cheese, sliced
• 4 slices deli ham, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cups almond flour
• 0.25 cups parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Start by placing the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken until it's about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 4

On each flattened chicken breast, place a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham. Roll up the chicken tightly, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and parmesan cheese.

Step 6

In a separate shallow dish, beat the egg.

Step 7

Dip each chicken roll in the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in the almond flour mixture.

Step 8

In a large ovenproof skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken rolls, seam side down first, and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet with the chicken to the preheated oven.

Step 10

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then remove toothpicks and serve warm.
