Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast

  • 1 large 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

  • 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)

  • ½ cup jarred tomato sauce (such as Rao's®)

  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese






Directions

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

  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.

  3. Beat egg and cream together in a bowl.

  4. Combine crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, red pepper, black pepper, and Italian seasoning in a separate shallow bowl or plate.

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

  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.

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

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