Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 4 thin slices prosciutto di parma*
- 8 ounces grated Fontina or Gruyere*
- ⅓ cup almond flour*
- 1 teaspoon coconut flour*
- ¼ teaspoon ground dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
Prep:
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the chicken breasts on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine the grated cheese, almond flour, coconut flour, dried thyme, garlic powder, and melted butter.
Assemble:
- Sprinkle a pinch of the cheese mixture onto each chicken breast, and top with one folded slice of prosciutto, then evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the chicken.
Bake:
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until the coating is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
- Remove from oven and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use deli ham if you can't find prosciutto. I suggest you season your chicken with a little salt if you use the ham route. It's not as salty. I used Jarlsberg because that is what I had on hand.
- If you don't eat grain-free, you can omit the almond flour + coconut flour and substitute with ½ cup bread crumbs.
