Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts sliced in half and thinned to 1/4 inch
- 1 cup of almond flour
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
- 2 eggs whisked
- 8 slices of ham
- 4 slices of swiss cheese cut in half (total of 8)
- 4 tablespoons of butter sliced in 4
For the sauce:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of almond flour
- 3/4 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F.
- In a large bowl add in almond flour, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning mix together.
- Take a chicken half, and dip it into the egg mixture, then layer on a slice of ham and cheese halves to the center of the chicken. Roll it so the ham and cheese are in the center and secure with 3 toothpicks.
- Gently coat the rolled chicken in the almond mixture, set to the side and repeat until all 3 have been coated.
- Add all rolled chicken to a well-greased oven-safe pan and dab with a slice of butter to each chicken. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- Tip: For a nice golden color, gently brown the rolled chicken on a skillet with olive oil for 2 minutes on each side.
To make the sauce:
- In a small pan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in the almond flour, cook for a minute, then slowly add in the heavy cream and water.
- Once it is beginning to thicken, add in Dijon mustard, Parmesan cheese, and any remaining cream. Continue to gently whisk until thickened, about 3 minutes.
- Turn off heat and drizzle sauce over cooked chicken.
