Ingredients | Pasta Recipes With Chicken Breast

1 (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 Rao's®)

¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)

Directions

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

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.

Beat egg and cream together in a bowl.

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.

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

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.

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

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