Low Carb Chicken Rollups

Submitted by Molly Mae

"I created this out of necessity when looking for a low carb version of chicken cordon swiss. It's also a modification of one I saw Tyler make on Tyler's Ultimate. He used a breading for the coating but I needed something lower in carbs. My husband thought the taste was a bit "strong" but I loved it. I hope you do as well."

• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts
• 4 slices prosciutto ham
• 2 cups shredded gruyere cheese
• 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1⁄2 cup melted butter

directions

1. Place chicken breast between 2 layers of clingwrap. Use a meat mallet to pound breast to a usable thickness. Repeat with each chicken breast.
2. Lay slice of proscuitto ham on each breast and top with 1/2 cup of the cheese. Using the clingwrap, roll the chicken breast up keeping it contained in the wrap. Twist the clingwrap at the sides of the rolled up breast to tighten and form the roll into a compressed roll. Refrigerate an hour for so it will keep it's form.
3. Melt the butter in one container.
4. Combine the other breading ingredients in another container.
5. Take each rollup and first dip in the butter and then in the parmesan cheese mixture. Press the cheese mixture lightly into the roll to help hold it in place.
6. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

I use this recipe as a “base” receipe but I beat some eggs and dip and coat in crushed pork rinds. And top with cheese the last 15 minute of baking. Also, I bake at 375 for 1 hour 15 minutes. Maybe my chicken is too thick but 45 minutes had the middle still raw.
