Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 slices deli ham
4 slices Swiss cheese
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each chicken breast with one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the egg, then coat evenly in the almond flour mixture.
Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish and drizzle with olive oil or melted butter.
Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
For a crispier top, broil for the last 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely.
Remove toothpicks before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with roasted broccoli, green beans, or a fresh salad.
Drizzle with a keto-friendly Dijon cream sauce if desired.
Tips for Best Results:
Pound chicken breasts slightly for even cooking.
Use full-fat cheese for best keto results.
Let the chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing to keep juices inside.
Crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, this keto chicken cordon bleu proves you don’t have to give up comfort food to stay low carb.
