Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, leaving one side intact to create a pocket.
Place two slices of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese inside each chicken breast. Fold the chicken breast over to enclose the filling.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each filled chicken breast first in the beaten eggs to coat, then in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's fully covered.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, heat the butter and olive oil.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
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).
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy your Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu.
