In a bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Lay down a piece of plastic wrap and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent the butter from sticking.
Form the mixture into a log and wrap it in the plastic wrap.
Place it in the freezer while you prepare the chicken. You will want it to become firm.

Place each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap.
Using a flat meat mallet or pounder, pound the chicken breast down to a thin flat cutlet, approximately ½ inch thick.
After all the pieces have been pounded thin, salt and pepper each piece.
Remove the filling mixture from the freezer and cut it into six equal parts.
Place a piece of the mixture in the center of a chicken cutlet and wrap the chicken tightly around the filling. You will want to work relatively quickly so that the butter mixture does begin to soften too much.
Place the wrapped chicken cutlets back in the refrigerator while you prepare for the breading process.

Set up 3 bowls - 2 with dry ingredients and 1 with wet ingredients.
Bowl #1: Place ¾ cup of almond flour, 1 tsp of paprika, 2 tsp of black pepper, 2 tsp of garlic powder, 2 tsp salt, and 2 tsp poultry seasoning in bowl.
Bowl #2: Wisk together 3 eggs and 2 tbsp of half and half.
Bowl #3: Place ½ cup of almond flour, ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1 tsp of paprika, 2 tsp of black pepper, 2 tsp of garlic powder, 2 tsp of salt, and 2 tsp of poultry seasoning in a bowl.
dredge one rolled chicken cutlet in Bowl #1, then dredge it into Bowl #2, and finish by dredging it into Bowl #3.
Repeat for each rolled chicken cutlet and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375℉.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown the breaded chicken pieces on each side and place them into a baking dish.
Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes or until the interior temperature of each piece of chicken reaches 165℉.
Plate with your favorite sides and enjoy!
