Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breast
- 6 tablespoons ghee
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Start by finely chopping the fresh parsley and mincing the garlic cloves. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the ghee, chopped parsley, minced garlic, a pinch of sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a garlic-herb ghee mixture.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and gently flatten them with a meat mallet or rolling pin to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Spread half of the garlic-herb ghee mixture onto each chicken breast, leaving a border around the edges to avoid overflow when folding.
Roll each chicken breast tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, to enclose the filling entirely. Use toothpicks to secure if necessary.
Set up a breading station by placing the coconut flour on one plate, lightly beaten egg in a bowl, and almond flour mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and a pinch of black pepper on another plate.
Carefully coat each chicken roll first in coconut flour, then dip in the egg, ensuring it is completely covered, and finally roll in the almond flour mixture.
In a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. When hot, add the chicken rolls and sear for about 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 juices run clear.
Remove the toothpicks from the chicken rolls before serving. Allow the cutlets to rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
