Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

low carb chickenI am pleased to provide a low carb chicken recipe from guest chef Nicole, who has a formal culinary background and has lost over 65 pounds through the low carb ketogenic diet!
Looking for a good low carb chicken recipe that is breaded and cripsy, without the gluten and carbs? Check out this cool modification using pork rinds aka chicharones.

You can find fresh chicharrones at your local Hispanic/Latin goods grocery store. You can also order them on Amazon.com. Break up the chicharrones and grind them in the food processor. Nicole ended up with about a cup of grounded pork rinds from about a bag of pork rinds.

Yum Yum Chicken Fun!

Nicole loved this recipe because it reminded her of the schnitzle her German mother would make when she was a child.

    Recipe sounds great – thanks for sharing it! One suggested edit: ‘grinded’ is not a word, but ‘ground’ is.

        This sounds divine. I will try it tonight.
        How many net carbs per breast?

          Hi Olwyn!
          I entered all the ingredients into MyFitnessPal Recipe creator and it came to under 2 net carbs per person. The recipe uses 3 chicken breasts, so I made that two servings. Of course, you don’t end up using the entire amount of breading, so it is under 2 net carbs, but if you are tracking carbs, I would enter ‘2’ for the carb count.
          I hope that helps!

    Could these be cooked and then frozen? I know they might try out a little when i reheat in oven/microwave but I like having a piece of seaso crumbed chicken cut up in my salads for lunch.

      Yes, I think these would freeze well. Like you said, chicken has a tendency to dry out when re heating, but give it a try and let me know!!

    Hi, is that supposed to say “taco seaoning” instead of tacos, under ingredients? Thanks!
