Keto Chicken Parmesan

01Method

1. 1

   Position the oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler element and preheat the broiler.

2. 2

   Butterfly the chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the middle, stopping about half an inch before cutting all the way through. Open it out flat and pound to an even thickness of roughly half an inch.

3. 3

   Whisk together the egg and cream in a shallow bowl.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl or on a plate, mix the crushed pork rinds, Parmesan, salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

5. 5

   Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, coating it thoroughly, then press it firmly into the pork rind breading to coat both sides well.

6. 6

   Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the ghee. Add the breaded chicken and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until cooked through with clear juices and an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C). Handle carefully to keep the breading intact.

7. 7

   Move the chicken to a baking sheet. Spoon the tomato sauce over the top and scatter the mozzarella evenly over the sauce.

8. 8

   Broil for about 2 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly browned.
