Making  Low Carb Chicken Parmesan

Full PRINTABLE recipe card below

• 4 chicken breasts thin-cut
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup crushed pork rind crumbs
• ¾ cup parmesan cheese divided
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon basil
• salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 egg beaten
• 1 ½ cups low-carb marinara sauce
• 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded

Instructions for Keto Pork Rind Chicken

Gather up all your ingredients - this makes it easier in the kitchen! Season both sides of the chicken breasts with basil, salt, and pepper.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy whipping cream. Mix together ½ cup of parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and crushed pork rink crumbs and put them on a plate.

Heat up the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Dip the chicken breasts into the egg mixture and then roll them in the dry mixture to coat both sides. Place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet and cook evenly on both sides until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees or higher.

Turn off the heat to the burner and then heat the broiler function on your oven. While waiting, pour the marinara sauce over the top of the cooked chicken. Top each chicken breast with mozzarella cheese and place the skillet into the oven under the broiler until the cheese is browned and bubbly.

Sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top of the chicken and serve hot. Enjoy!

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.
