Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu
There is something so satisfying in knowing a filling, appetizing meal is practically zilch on carbs! This chicken cordon bleu has the classic combo of chicken, ham, and swiss cheese. Instead of coating the chicken in breadcrumbs, you can wrap the chicken in bacon for a high-protein, low carb meal!
How to Make It
Step 1
Butterfly two chicken breasts and pound them to a ½-inch thickness. Sprinkle the salt and pepper across the exposed chicken.
Step 2
Lay down a slice of ham over each chicken breast, and arrange the swiss cheese evenly as shown.
Step 3
Fold the chicken breasts back together and wrap each one in bacon – about three slices per breast. Make sure the ends of the bacon strips are folded under the chicken so they stay secure.
Step 4
Drizzle the olive oil in a large skillet, and heat it to medium-high heat. Place the wrapped chicken breasts down, and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook the chicken on each side for approx. 5 minutes per side or until the chicken is completely cooked through.
Step 5
Sprinkle the parmesan cheese across the tops of the cooked chicken and cover the skillet with the lid again, allowing the cheese to melt for about 30 seconds before serving.
Step 6
Enjoy!
