Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
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.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, crushed pork rinds, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each chicken roll in the beaten eggs, ensuring it's completely coated.
Roll the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing down gently to adhere the mixture to the chicken surface.
Place the chicken rolls seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the tops of the chicken with the olive oil.
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).
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Remove any toothpicks before serving.
