Cooking Instructions
1.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2.
Cut each Chicken Breasts (4) almost in half, then flatten the breast out.
3.
Place the Almond Meal (2/3 cup), Fresh Parsley (2 tbsp), and Parmesan Cheese (4 tbsp) onto a wide plate. Mix until everything is combined well.
4.
Coat the chicken in Eggland's Best Classic Egg (1), then transfer to the crumb mixture. Press down firmly, then set aside on a baking tray.
5.
Add Butter (2 tbsp), Cauliflower (1 head), and Thickened Cream (1/2 cup) into a saucepan over medium heat. Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground White Pepper (to taste), then cook with the lid on for 7 to 9 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
6.
Pureé with a stick blender until nice and smooth. Keep in the pot to keep warm until serving.
7.
On a pan over medium to high heat, add Butter (2 tbsp) and Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed), and then fry the coated chicken. Each side should only need 2-3 minutes.
8.
Once cooked, place the chicken on the baking tray, lined with fresh baking paper. Add a dollop of Pasta Sauce (1/3 cup), two slices of Smoked Ham (4 slices), and some Parmesan Cheese (4 tbsp) over each piece of chicken.
9.
Place into the oven for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
10.
Serve with the cauliflower mash, parsley, Ground White Pepper (to taste), and a drizzle of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil.
