Low Carb Chicken Parmesan

Kayla Cappiello
This Low Carb Chicken Parmesan is perfect for christmas or just as a traditional classic cozy dinner! This Low Carb Chicken Parmesan is low carb since it uses a low carb bread crumb substitute (pork rinds) and is served over spaghetti spash! It is low fat since I use low fat, dairy free cheese.
To make this vegan or vegetarian use breaded eggplant or breaded cauliflower instead! If you want to keep this Low Carb Chicken Parmesan low in fat make sure to dip your cutlets in egg whites instead of full eggs. If you want to skip the eggs, dip the culets in olive oil then breadcrumbs.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 1 cup Gluten free breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup pork rind panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup egg whites
  • 1 cup mozzerella Cheese or dairy free sub
  • 2 cup Marinara sauce or dairy free sub
  • 2 Spaghetti Squash

Instructions
 

  • Sandwich the chicken beasts between 2 pieces of parchment paper and pound until 1″ thin.
  • Combine breadcrumbs and pork panko in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl add the egg whites.
  • Dip the chicken breasts into the egg whites, then into the breadcrumb mixture, coating the whole piece.
  • Dip back into the egg white and coat piece in breadcrumb mixture for a second time.
  • Air fry on 390 for approx 15-17 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Flip overhalf way to make sure all breading is getting crispy.
  • During last 1 minute, add cheese on top of cutlet and let finish baking so cheese is melted onto of the chicken cutlet. OR remove chicken cutlets and add them to a baking dish with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese and bake for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is hot.
