Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts thin cut
  • 2 slices ham steak about 8 oz
  • 8 oz gruyere or sharp white cheddar cheese (4 oz for sauce, 4 oz for stuffing chicken)
  • 1 cup pork rinds
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 tsp xantham gum

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Butterfly chicken and then pound chicken breast until it is 1/8 inch thick.
  • Spread ground pork rind onto a plate.
  • Dredge one side of each chicken breast & pork rind.
  • Lay onto a baking sheet.
  • Cut cheese (about 4 oz or half) and ham to fit chicken breasts. Don't worry about cramming everything on, if you have leftover ham or cheese just dice it up into the sauce.
  • Stuff chicken with slices of cheese and ham.
  • Fold chicken breast in half, and close with toothpicks.
  • Bake chicken for 30 minutes, or until cooked.
  • Once there is 15 minutes left on the timer cook sauce: grab a saucepan and add cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, garlic sauce, oregano, thyme, xantham gum, and cheese. Cook 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently until thickened.
  • Top chicken with cordon bleu sauce and enjoy!
