Cooking cue

Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.

  1. Preheat the oven to 425F and line or lightly grease the pan you plan to use.
  2. 1. Heat your oven to 350 degrees with the rack in the middle position, crush the pork rinds until fine, and prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. 2. Pat the chicken dry, season both sides with salt and pepper, then whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, and sweetener in a bowl, reserving most of the mixture for dipping and using 1/4 cup to coat the chicken.
  4. 3. Combine the crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, granulated garlic, granulated onion, salt, and pepper, then sprinkle half this mixture into the bottom of your baking dish.
  5. 4. Arrange the coated chicken breasts on top of the crumbs and cover them with the remaining crumb mixture.
  6. 5. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through, then remove from the oven and top each breast with 2 slices of ham and 1 slice of Swiss cheese.
  7. Cook until the thickest piece reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
  8. 6. Return the dish to the oven just until the cheese melts, then serve with the reserved mustard sauce.
  9. Taste and adjust the seasoning at the end, then serve while everything is hot or freshly chilled.
