Ingredients
Chicken:
- 816 gram boneless, skinless chicken breast
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Coating:
- 2 ½ ounce pork rinds
- ¼ cup flaxseed meal
- ½ cup parmesan cheese shredded
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoon chicken broth
- ¼ cup olive oil
Sauce:
- 1 cup low-carb tomato sauce such as Rao's
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ teaspoon fresh garlic
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. In a food processor, grind up the pork rinds, flaxseed meal, parmesan cheese, and spices. Transfer the mixture to a shallow bowl.
- Slice the chicken breasts in half and pound them out into cutlets. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a separate shallow bowl from the coating, whisk the egg together with the chicken broth.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together all of the ingredients for the sauce. Let this cook for at least 20 minutes while preparing the chicken.
- Bread the chicken cutlets by dipping them in the egg mixture and then dipping them in the coating mixture. Set the breaded cutlets aside on a piece of foil.
- Heat about half of the olive oil in a pan and fry each piece of chicken on both sides until crispy, adding more oil as needed. Fry the chicken in batches, so as not to overcrowd the pan.
- Place the chicken in a casserole dish, pour the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is nice and melted.
- Serve with side of choice. Enjoy!
