Instructions:

Cut up the chicken breasts into your desired size; a kitchen scissors makes this easy. If the pieces are a bit uneven in thickness, lightly pound with a meat tenderizer mallet.
Lightly season the chicken pieces with salt & pepper.
In a bowl combine the crushed pork rinds, almond flour, parmesan cheese, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and slap yo mama seasoning.
To crush the pork rinds, I place them in a ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to roll over the pork rinds, crushing them to a panko breadcrumb consistency. It you want extra crispy chicken, then I would leave the pork rinds in chunkier pieces.
In a separate bowl, combine the egg, mustard and dash of cream/half & half. Give it a good mix.
Time to start cooking!!!
Add enough olive oil to a Large frying pan to just about cover the bottom of the pan. Let the oil heat up for a few minutes on medium heat. In the meantime, you can start coating the chicken.
Dip the chicken pieces, one at a time, into the egg mixture, making sure it is well coated.
Then dip into the pork rind coating, and place on a plate. Continue to coat all pieces with the egg mixture and then the pork rind mixture.
Once the olive oil is warm, gently place the chicken pieces, one at a time into the oil
Cook on medium heat about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove chicken from pan and let drain on a paper towel covered plate.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner is READY!!!!
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: no sugar added ketchup or BBQ sauce, mustard, ranch or blue cheese dressing, or my personal favorite Chipotle Dip from Stew Leonard’s (aka as the disney world of grocery stores).
Leftovers can be chopped up and put on a salad, in a fathead bun sandwich or added to a Lettuce wrap.
Variations – This recipe can be easily modified for sooooo many things!
If you want to use this chicken as the base of a Chicken Parmesan dish, I would switch out the paprika for some dried oregano or basil, and maybe add a bit more parmesan to the coating.
For Spicy Chicken tenders, add more slap yo mama seasoning or your own choice of spicy seasonings.
For Buffalo Chicken tenders: after frying the chicken, toss & coat them in buffalo sauce. I always make my own buffalo sauce: equal parts melted butter to Frank’s Original Red Hot sauce for medium spiciness.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!!! Tried and Tested From Noreen’s Keto Kitchen!!!!
