Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
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.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour and parmesan cheese.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the egg.
Dip each chicken roll in the beaten egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll it in the almond flour mixture.
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.
Transfer the skillet with the chicken to the preheated oven.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then remove toothpicks and serve warm.
