Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 pieces dairy-free mozzarella cheese slices
- 4 slices smoked turkey slices
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons almond milk
- 1.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Lay one slice of smoked turkey and one slice of dairy-free mozzarella cheese on top of each chicken breast.
Roll each chicken breast tightly starting from one end to the other, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the almond milk.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
Dredge each chicken roll in the flour mixture, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken rolls and cook, turning, until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
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.
Remove the toothpicks before serving.
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
