- Sprinkle a pinch of the cheese mixture onto each chicken breast, and top with one folded slice of prosciutto, then evenly distribute the cheese mixture over the chicken.

Notes
- You can use deli ham if you can't find prosciutto. I suggest you season your chicken with a little salt if you use the ham route. It's not as salty. I used Jarlsberg because that is what I had on hand.
- If you don't eat grain-free, you can omit the almond flour + coconut flour and substitute with ½ cup bread crumbs.
