Chicken Cordon Bleu

Makes 4 Servings. Each Serving: 362 Calories;15F/8C/48P - 1g Fibre

Ingredients

  • 500 grams Chicken breast (4 breasts) raw
  • 1/4 Cup Tapioca or Coconut flour
  • 1/4 Cup Egg whites
  • 1/4 Cup Almond flour
  • 80 grams Light cheddar cheese (split into 4 slices)
  • 4 Slices Ham
  • 1/3 Cup (30g) Shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

White Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Almond milk
  • 1 tsp Butter
  • 1/8 Cup Egg whites
  • 2 Tbsp Tapioca or Coconut flour
  • 2 Tbsp Light parmesan cheese
  • Sprinkle Nutmeg, salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. Slice each chicken down the middle making sure not to go all the way through.

  2. Put the tapioca or coconut flour, egg whites and almond flour on three separate plates. Dip both sides of each breast in the tapioca or coconut flour, then dip in the egg whites, finally dip in your almond flour.

  3. Fold and place one slice of cheese and one piece of ham inside the split in the chicken breast.

  4. On low heat in a saucepan melt your butter and add your almond milk until warm. Slightly increase the heat and add your egg whites and flour, whisking until it has gradually thickened. Add your parmesan cheese and spices until gently heated, stirring continuously.

  5. Place your chicken breasts in an oven safe baking dish, top each with the shredded mozzarella and white sauce and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until cooked through.

  6. Note: I paired mine with some potatoes and a side salad for a nice balanced meal. Enjoy!
