- 1 teaspoon butter
- 2 (3 1/2) pound whole chickens
- 6 slices ham
- 6 slices Swiss cheese (optional)
- 1/4 cup almond meal
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
- Cut chickens into wings, drumsticks, thighs, and breast portions. Split breasts down the middle and debone the 4 breast halves. Pound breasts to about 1/4-inch thickness. Place chicken drumsticks, thighs, and wings into prepared baking dish in a single layer, placing chicken pieces as close together as possible. Layer ham, then Swiss cheese over the chicken legs, thighs, and wings. Lay the breasts on top.
- Mix together almond meal and olive oil in a bowl until crumbly. Sprinkle mixture over top of breasts.
- Bake in oven until a thermometer reads 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) in the center of the the thickest part of a thigh, about 1 hour.
