Ingredients:
- 2-3 chicken breast halves sliced thin (or use 10 tenderloins)
- 3/4 cup Pecorino Romano cheese grated (or use Kraft Parmesan)
- 2-3 egg(s)
- 1 serving Savory Chicken Soup Keto Chow
- 2 cups unseasoned pork rind crumbs * crushed
- 1/2 qt. lard or tallow for fryingor use peanut oil in a pinch
Directions:
- Place the chicken in a Ziploc® bag and use a meat pounder to make sure it is thin and even.
- Combine pork rinds and Romano cheese in a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
- Add the Keto Chow to a third small mixing bowl.
- Place two cookie sheets to the side, with a cooling rack over each one. The first will be used to place the chicken after it is breaded; the second will be used after the chicken has been cooked.
- Heat lard or tallow to 400℉ in a cast iron pot. While it is heating, proceed with breading the chicken.
- Handling one piece of chicken at a time with tongs, coat chicken thoroughly in egg wash and shake off excess.
- Coat the chicken in the Keto Chow, then place back into the egg wash and shake off excess.
- Place into the pork rinds and cheese mixture, pressing firmly to coat both sides, then place on the first cooling rack.
- Place the breaded chicken into the pot. Do not overcrowd it, as that will lower the temperature of the oil.
- Fry for 2 1/2 minutes, then flip and continue frying on the other side for 2 1/2 minutes.
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, place on the second cooling rack and salt immediately, before it cools.
- Enjoy with your favorite low-carb sauces or dressings in salads, sandwiches, or just by themselves!
*If desired, add extra spices to the crushed pork rinds to add to the flavor profile! Cayenne pepper, white pepper, or Italian seasoning are all good options.
