INGREDIENTS

•  (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
• 1 ½ ounces pork rinds, crushed
• 1 ounce grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ cup jarred tomato sauce (such as ^®ao’s(^®))
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)

Directions

• Step 1

  Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler.

• Step 2

  Slice chicken breast through the middle horizontally from one side to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Pound chicken flat until about 1/2-inch thick.

• Step 3

  Beat egg and cream together in a bowl.

• Step 4

  Combine crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning in bowl; transfer breading to a plate.

• Step 5

  Dip chicken into egg mixture; coat completely. Press chicken into breading; thickly coat both sides.

• Step 6

  Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; add ghee. Place chicken in the pan; cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Be careful to keep breading in place.

• Step 7

  Transfer chicken to a baking sheet. Cover with tomato sauce; top with mozzarella cheese.

• Step 8

  Broil until cheese is bubbling and barely browned, about 2 minutes.
