A quick look at making this keto recipe
How To Store Parmesan Chicken
You will want to store your parmesan chicken in the fridge. This will last when stored properly for up to three days. Use your best judgment as to when you need to toss out any leftovers, to prevent getting sick.
What Are The Best Pork Rinds To Use For Chicken Parmesan
We used the plain pork rinds I found in our store. Be sure not to get flavored pork rinds as that will add that specific flavor to your recipe, changing it. Any brand of original will work. Trust me pork rinds work great and you won't even miss the bread crumbs. This keto recipe is a winner. Grab that baking dish and get to cooking.
Is This Keto Chicken Parmesan A Good Meal Prep Recipe
of course! I use this often as a meal prep for those busy days during the week I can't stop and make dinner. It allows me to enjoy a savory lunch and not feel deprived and stay on track with my keto journey. This is one of my favorite keto chicken recipes I use over and over again.
Will This Recipe Double or Triple
Absolutely, Yes. Because the chicken breasts vary in size, you might have to batch cook depending on the size of your skillet. But you can very easily double or even triple the recipe to feed however large you need to cook.
Does Gluten Free Chicken Parmesan Freeze Well
Yes! Just place in an airtight container and store in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge before you plan to eat it the night before. Crisp up the gluten free chicken parmesan again by tossing it in the oven at 350 degrees covered with aluminum foil and heat till it is warmed through. Remove the foil the last 10 minutes of cooking.
