Instructions

  • Gather all equipment and ingredients to save time.
  • Line up three dishes for dredging chicken.
  • In the first, add almond flour. In the second, add eggs and whisk with 1 tbsp water. In the third, add panko & parmesan cheese. Season each dish with 1 tsp Grill Seasoning. Set aside.
  • In cereal-size bowl, mix 2 tbsp softened cream cheese, Herb De Provence, lemon zest and juice, and garlic. Set aside.
  • Place one hand on top of the chicken breast. Carefully cut through the thick part of the chicken.
  • Open the chicken breast like a book.
  • Spoon the cream cheese filling on one side of the breast. Fold over to close the chicken "book". It's okay if some spills out!
  • Dip both sides of the chicken breasts in the three dredging dishes, shaking off excess after each dip.
  • Heat 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp evoo in fry pan on med high. Once the butter starts to bubble, add the chicken breasts and cook for 5 minutes on medium high. Flip over for an additional 4 minutes. Remove to a serving plate.
  • Make the sauce: Add remaining evoo, butter, cream cheese, chicken stock and wine to your pan. Loosen the brown chicken bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer and whisk to a creamy consistency. Return chicken to the pan, cover with a lid, and continue to simmer on low about 5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F.
  • Spread sauce on each plate. Top with chicken breast and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with a fresh green salad and crusty garlic bread to soak up the sauce.
