"Breaded" Chicken - better than the real thing!

[plsmachic]

I made this tonight and my word it was tasty.

It was another "accident" discovery.

I was attempting mozzarella sticks, but they came out bad....

To make the breading:

Pork Rinds - put in a ziplock bag and crush finely first (use a rolling pin or a soup can)
Parmesan Cheese
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Pepper (NO SALT)
A small amount Cayenne Pepper

Dip Chicken in an egg (that's been beaten first) and then toss to coat in the "breading" mixture.

Bake at 400 degrees 8-11 min a side. (I had to check mine a couple times)

Fan-friggin-tastic.

Me, my dear fiance who is also doing Atkins with me, and my carb-eating friend all agreed it was the best chicken we've ever had.

I was shocked when I realized I hadn't put any salt in it, and it tasted phenomenal.

Please try it and let me know how yours turns out!!!

Yep, pork rinds make a great breading. Also, use them as a topping in place of Ritz crackers.

would this work well with chicken thighs?

[plsmachic]

I think it would - I actually have frozen chicken thighs I need to make something with... I will try it too!

I fixed fried chicken, dipped in beaten egg, and coated with crushed pork rinds and parmesan tonight.

The coating smelled a little funny, but the result was delicious!!!!

DH is not on Atkins, but he loved it!

Thanks so much for the idea. I didn't remember the other additions, but it was still wonderful without them.
