"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?

Re: "Breaded" Chicken - better than the real thing!

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.

If chicken ain't good cold, it was never good in the first place, right? I'll have to try this.

I tried this tonight and it was the best chicken I ever put in my mouth. I didn't have any onion powder but I didn't miss it and can't imagine it being any better than it was. I fried mine instead of baking. It was DELISH! My kids and DH said it was "amazing". I won't ever cook chicken any other way. Although I will probably try the baked version since I hate frying because of the mess. Thanks so much for sharing this!!!

I love this recipe. I made it for the first time last night, and again today! I think I may have made the breading too thick because its not as crispy as I prefer but its still amazing! I want to coat little chicken nuggets in this and fry them and see what happens. I'd be happy eating this ever day!
p.s. I have frozen chicken breasts I use for this, and I soak them in water and Tony Chachere's cajun seasoning to thaw it, then i let it keep soaking for hours before I bread and cook them. It makes the chicken unbelievably tender.
