Ingredients
  

  • 4 Thin cut chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1 c. Crushed pork rind crumbs
  • ¾ c. Parmesan cheese divided
  • ½ tsp. Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. Basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ c. Heavy whipping cream
  • 1 Egg beaten
  • 1 ½ c. Low carb marinara sauce
  • 1 ½ c. Mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • Coat both sides of the thin cut chicken breasts with 1 tsp of basil, as well as salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place 1 beaten egg in a shallow bowl, and whisk in ¼ cup of heavy whipping cream.
  • Put 1 cup of crushed pork rind crumbs on a plate. You can crush up the pork rind crumbs by placing them into a Ziploc bag, and using a rolling pin to break them up.
  • Mix ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tsp of garlic powder into the crushed pork rinds on the plate.
  • Heat up 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, and then roll them in the crushed pork rind mixture to coat both sides.
  • Place the coated chicken breasts into the heated oil in the skillet. Cook evenly on both sides until the internal temperature has reached at least 165 degrees.
  • Turn the heat off to the burner, and heat the broiler function up on your oven.
  • Pour 1 ½ cups of low carb marinara sauce over top of the cooked chicken in the skillet.
  • Top each piece of chicken with the mozzarella cheese.
  • Place the skillet into the oven under the broiler until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
  • Sprinkle ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken, and serve hot.
  • Enjoy!
