Instructions
Instructions For The Chicken
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cut the chicken breast open lengthwise (without cutting all the way through). Using a mallet pound the chicken until 1/4 inch thick.
3. Season lightly both sides of the chicken cutlet with mixtures of salt, pepper, garlic powder and herb de provence.
4. Place one slice of cheese and ham each in the middle of each piece of chicken then roll it up close and set aside. See Note
5. On a shallow dish beat 1 egg and on another shallow dish mix the almond flower with salt, pepper, garlic powder and herb de provence.
6. Dip each chicken roll up in the egg and then roll it into the almond flower and set aside.
7. Heat a non-stick pan over medium high heat and melt butter in the pan.
8. Place each chicken rolls seam side down on the heated saute pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Add more butter if needed.
9. Place the chicken rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or aluminum foil) and bake for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.
10. Remove the chicken from the oven let it rest for about 5 minutes then slice and serve with sauce on top.
Instructions For The Sauce
1. While the chicken is in the oven melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
3. Whisk in cream cheese until melted followed by mustard, heavy cream and shredded parmesan cheese.
4. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
5. Serve the chicken sliced with the sauce either poured on top or served on the side.
Notes
Note 1: I pounded my chicken between two layers of plastic wrap.
Note 2: For extra crispy, I put the chicken roll in a shallow dish and under the broiler for a 1 minute. Be careful not to overcook chicken.
Note 3: If the chicken is not staying rolled up you can secure it with toothpicks.
