Ingredients

  • 4 thin sliced chicken breasts
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 2 cups crushed pork rinds
  • ½ cup powdered Parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup marinara
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1 tablespoon minced basil or parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
  • Add the eggs to a shallow dish.
  • Add the pork rinds, Parmesan, garlic powder, and onion powder to a second shallow dish and stir to combine.
  • Dip each chicken breast into the egg and then the pork rinds. Be sure to press the pork rinds into the chicken so that the crust adheres to the meat.
  • Place the chicken on the prepared baking dish and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and spread the marinara evenly over each piece of chicken.
  • Sprinkle with the mozzarella.
  • Return the chicken to the oven for 5 more minutes or until the temperature reaches 165 degrees and the cheese has melted.
  • Sprinkle with minced basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

We use the powdery Parmesan cheese here as it works best as a breading. Shredded Parmesan won't offer as much coverage.
Serve with a side salad or sauteed zucchini noodles.
