Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces chicken breast cut in half
  • ½ cup crushed pork rinds
  • cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Crush up your pork rinds in a Ziploc bag.
  • In a bowl, put your pork rind crumbs, 1/3 Cup Parm cheese, and pepper.
  • In another bowl, crack an egg and scramble it well.
  • Mix the pork rind ingredients up to make sure it will coat the chicken evenly.
  • Dip your chicken into the egg mixture, then dip it into the pork rind crumb mixture. We're doing a double dip to ensure there will be a nice crust. Dip it in the egg mixture again, and again into the pork rinds.
  • In a pan, put your olive oil and coconut oil. Turn to medium high heat and let it get hot.
  • Once the oil is hot, place your chicken inside. DON'T TOUCH IT! Let it sit here a while, almost until you smell burning. We want to make sure the crust gets nice and crisp.
  • Once you smell that burning, flip it over and do the same to the other side. Once you smell burning again, you can flip it over a second time.
  • Turn your heat down to the lowest setting, and let your chicken cook for about 6-7 minutes per side (depending on thickness of the chicken breast).
  • Let your chicken cook until it's just about done. I like to keep my chicken nice and moist inside, JUST over the pink side in the center - but this is completely up to your own preferences.
  • Serve this up with your favorite sides and enjoy.
