Delicious keto chicken Parmesan, a low-carb twist on the classic Italian favorite. Enjoy a flavorful meal while staying on track with your keto diet.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
  • 1.5 ounces pork rinds, crushed
  • 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
  • 0.5 cup jarred tomato sauce (such as Rao's®)
  • 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
  • Position the oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler.
  • Butterfly the chicken breast and pound it flat to 1/2-inch thickness.
  • Whisk egg and cream until well combined in a bowl.
  • In a separate shallow bowl or plate, mix together crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, red pepper, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  • Dip chicken in egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then press chicken into breading to generously coat both sides.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and add ghee. Cook the chicken in the skillet until it's no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 minutes per side. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches at least 165°F (74°C). Keep the breading intact while cooking.
  • Place the chicken onto a baking sheet and generously smother it with tomato sauce before generously scattering mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Broil until the cheese is melted and golden, approximately 2 minutes.
