3. Sheet Pan Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu with Cream Cheese
If a quick and easy dinner is what you’re looking for, this keto chicken cordon bleu with cream cheese is just the thing. I like how it’s incredibly tasty without compromising on good, wholesome ingredients.
You’ll first cut your chicken breasts in half horizontally before opening them into a heart shape and then flattening them to about ¼” thickness. Add a bit of salt and pepper, and then spread ½ tablespoon of cream cheese over each breast. You can then add one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese to each of them. From here, you’ll want to roll up each breast and then dredge them in a pre-prepared mix of almond flour, Parmesan cheese, and finely ground flaxseed meal. Finally, bake them on a baking sheet for 25-30 minutes and then you’re good to go.
