- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups crushed pork rinds
- 1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmesan plus more for serving
- 2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 T avocado oil
- 3/4 cup keto marinara sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
- Fresh basil for topping
- Zucchini noodles for serving
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Using a sharp knife, cut chicken breasts in half horizontally. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs with the cream. In a second bowl, place almond flour. In a third bowl, combine pork rinds, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano.
Dip a chicken piece into the almond flour, then the eggs, and then the pork rind mixture, pressing to coat. Place the chicken on a plate and repeat with the remaining pieces.
In a large skillet set over medium heat, heat avocado oil. Working in batches, add the chicken pieces and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
Transfer the fried cutlets to the prepared baking dish. Evenly spread the marinara sauce on each cutlet, then top with mozzarella. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. If desired, broil for 1-3 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
Serve over zucchini noodles, garnished with basil and more Parmesan.
