Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the chicken:
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds total) (I get my chicken here)
- 16 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices ham
- sea salt and ground black pepper (this is the only salt I use)
- 1 1/2 cups crushed pork rinds (get them here)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder (I use this brand of spices)
- 1 large egg
- oil, for frying (I use this oil for frying)
For the sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
For the chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of parchment paper or cling wrap and pound until they are bout 1/4 inch thick.
- Lay two slices of Swiss cheese on top of each piece. Top with a slice of ham, and then two more slices of Swiss cheese.
- Roll each chicken breast up into a tight roll, season with salt and pepper, and wrap it tightly in cling wrap to help it hold its shape. Refrigerate for one hour.
- Combine the crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large shallow bowl.
- Crack the egg into a separate shallow bowl and fork whisk.
- Heat 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat in a large, high sided skillet.
- Dip each chicken roll up into the egg wash and then roll about in the breading mixture.
- Fry, turning to brown on all sides until cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove each chicken roll up from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to help absorb any excess grease.
For the sauce:
- Combine the cream, parmesan cheese, chicken stock, Dijon mustard, butter and parsley in a small sauce pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Taste and add salt and pepper, if desired. Let simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Slice the chicken roll ups and top with the sauce before serving.
