Ham and cheese chicken

So good, and pretty easy.

Pound out 4 chicken breasts until they're thin enough to stuff and roll. Or, buy the thin chicken breasts. Either way works!

Saute 1/4 cup red onion in a tablespoon of butter for a few minutes, until wilted. Transfer to a bowl and add:
1 small minced garlic clove
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon chopped thyme leaves (fresh)
4 ounces grated cheddar cheese

Mix this, then spread equally over the chicken breasts. Lay a slice of ham over each chicken breast and roll. Using twine or toothpicks, secure the rolls.



Dip the whole thing in egg wash (an egg with a little water), then in almond meal (or breadcrumbs, but almond meal is healthier and makes it gluten free).

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Heat a little olive oil over medium heat in a saucepan. Add the rolled chicken breasts and cook for a few minutes on each side, then transfer to preheated oven and cook for another 15-20 minutes.

I took a picture at a bad angle, so looks pretty crispy, but the crisp was actually pretty good because it was just cheese that had oozed out and gotten crispy. Delicious.
