Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecans chopped or whole
  • 25 grams pork rinds about 1 cup
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated or shredded (omit for dairy-free or use nutritional yeast)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
  • teaspoon salt omit if pork rinds are salty
  • 2 egg whites or gelatin and water for egg-free
  • 4 chicken breasts about 4 oz each, skinless and boneless

Instructions

  • Add pecans, pork rinds, and parmesan cheese (if using) to food processor. Pulse until mixture is the size of fine crumbs.
  • Pour mixture into a medium bowl. Stir in garlic powder, basil, and salt. Set aside.
  • In small bowl, beat egg whites or prepare gelatin water mixture for egg free.
  • Dip chicken breasts in egg whites (or gelatin water) then press into pecan mixture to coat. Place each piece on a parchment paper lined or silicone lined baking pan.
  • Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes then flip and bake another 10-15 minutes until chicken tests done. Remove from oven and serve warm.

Notes

I used 2 teaspoons gelatin bloomed in 2 tablespoons cold water and then added 2 tablespoons hot water since I'm avoiding egg whites due to a food sensitivity.
