Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu

2/10/2020

Chicken with ham and cheese, breaded and fried—how glorious does that sound? Chicken Cordon Bleu is one of those recipes that add a little pizazz to the humdrum baked chicken recipes. Whenever my family gets tired of baked or grilled chicken, I make chicken cordon bleu. The ingredients make this an easy choice to incorporate in any keto meal plan. Substitutions for non-keto ingredients are simple and the end product is just as tasty, if not even more so.
 
The cheese traditionally used in a cordon bleu is swiss cheese, but lately I’ve been partial to gouda and let me tell you, the flavors are perfect. If you’re neither a swiss cheese nor gouda fan, don’t fret, any cheese will do really though I’d suggest provolone or a mild cheddar. Sub any cheese but don’t omit it. The cheese is actually what helps keep the chicken breast moist during the cooking process. So choose you favorite and get cooking!
 
Serves:
4-6 People
 
Ingredients:
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (you can use chicken breasts too)
6-8 slices deli ham
6-8 slices gouda cheese
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 cup panko pork crumbs
Salt, pepper, garlic powder
Avocado oil spray
 
Directions:
  1. Between 2 pieces of seran wrap pound the chicken thighs until they are an even thickness throughout.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken pieces liberally with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  3. On top of each chicken piece lay a layer or two each of ham and cheese. Trim the edges so that the ham nor the cheese stick out of the chicken.
  4. Gently roll the chicken, ham, cheese layer into a log. (Tip you can use a toothpick to hold it closed)
  5. In a shallow bowl mix the almond flour, panko pork crumbs and parmesan cheese. Stir to mix completely.
  6. Dip the chicken log into the beaten eggs.
  7. Then roll it in the almond/panko pork mixture to coat.
  8. Place it on your air fryer basket and spray the top with avocado oil-spray.
  9. In your preheated air fryer, air fry the chicken for 20-25 minutes or until you reach an internal temperature of 160°.

​If you do not have an air fryer you can pan fry the chicken in avocado oil and finish the cooking process in the oven 350º until you reach an internal temperature of 160º. Note using the oven will not make your outer coating as crispy, but it will still be delicious! Enjoy.
