LOVE AT FIRST BITE CHICKEN

• servings: 4

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts

2 tbsp butter, melted (30 mL)

1 tsp seasoning salt (5 mL)

1/2 tsp black pepper (2 mL)

Creamy Spicy Mustard Sauce:

3 oz cream cheese, softened (125 g)

3 tbsp mayonnaise (45 mL)

1 tsp spicy brown mustard, OR (5 mL) whatever you have on hand like Dijon mustard

Toppings:

4 slices Swiss cheese

2 slices ham (fairly thick)

1 tbsp almond flour (15 mL)

1 tbsp Parmesan cheese (15 mL)

1/4 tsp paprika (1 mL)

Chopped green onions

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a cookie sheet real well.

Butterfly chicken breasts without cutting all the way through. My chicken breasts were not huge, so I used an economy of cheese and ham. You may need more to place on either side of the butterflied chicken, if yours are larger chicken breasts.

Brush the chicken with melted butter and sprinkle with a mix of the seasoning salt and black pepper on both chicken breasts. Then place one slice of ham, all Creamy Spicy Mustard Sauce and then 2 slices of Swiss cheese on both chicken breasts. In small bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese and paprika. Sprinkle this crumb seasoning over top of the Swiss cheese. Bake 30 minutes or until chicken cut through the thickest part is white throughout. Garnish with chopped green onions.

Creamy Spicy Mustard Sauce: Soften cream cheese by nuking in the microwave briefly (cover to prevent splattering). Stir in mayonnaise and spicy brown mustard, OR alternative.
