This recipe is so good that it was "Love at first bite" for us! This recipe has 2 chicken breasts butterflied, topped with a rich cream sauce, ham and Swiss cheese slices and a light topping of almond flour, Parmesan cheese with a touch of paprika. It is baked to golden perfection! However, I missed mentioning the secret to this chicken being so incredibly tender and juicy. Before doing any of that the chicken is brushed with melted butter and topped with seasoning salt and black pepper, and then everything else is added. Nothing left now but to bake. Such an easy recipe and you will be assured of rave reviews, trust me on that!
This recipe is very rich and totally packed with delicious
flavor, so pair it with light sides and it will be a good combination.
You could even serve it with a salad.

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
Instructions:
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. Spread with all the
sauce, covering the chicken well, then place one slice of ham and 2 slices of
Swiss cheese on both chicken breasts. In small bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese and paprika. Sprinkle this season 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.
