Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
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.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until well combined.
In another shallow dish, mix the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
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.
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.
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).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks, if used.
Serve the Keto Breaded Chicken Cordon Bleu hot, slicing each roll into rounds if desired, and enjoy.
