  • 2 Plates with tall edges For holding an egg
  • Toothpicks
  • Saucepan

Ingredients
  

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/3 cup Stock
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 1/4 cup White Cheese Asiago, Gruyere, Gouda, or another mild white cheese work best.
  • 1 tbsp Stone Ground Mustard
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Chicken

  • 2 medium Chicken Breasts
  • 4-6 slices Fresh Ham If carving yourself, try to make very thin slices
  • 4-6 slices Swiss Cheese Could use shredded as well

Breading

  • 1 medium Egg
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumb If Keto, use keto version, or ground pork rinds.
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Taking each chicken breast, slice horizontally and butterfly. Covering with a plastic wrap to avoid a mess, pound the chicken breast very thin.
  • Take slices of ham and swiss and layer on top of chicken breast.
  • Carefully roll up into a pinwheel shape and fasten with toothpicks.
  • On one of the edged plates, combine breadcrumbs, parmesan, almond flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • On second plate, crack egg and scramble.
  • Heat oil and butter in the skillet. Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash and roll in the crust, coating well. Add to skillet and place lid on to retain moisture.
  • Rotate sides as it cooks to equally cook the breading. Cook until internal temperature is at least 165.
  • While that is cooking, in saucepan, heat oil and butter.
  • Once melted, add stock and mustard. Heat until a slight bowl has formed.
  • Add cream and reduce heat. Pour in the cheese, and add salt and pepper, stirring well. Allow sauce to thicken and adjust seasoning to taste.
  • When chicken is cooked, remove and let stand for a few minutes to cool. Slice in pinwheels and serve with a drizzle of the cheesy mustard sauce. Enjoy!
    I served this with air fryer broccoli to keep the stove less clustered. Toss broccoli florets in a bit of oil and salt, and roast for about 6 minutes. Done when the meal is ready!
