Best Lower Cholesterol Chicken Parmesan Recipes

KETO CHICKEN PARMESAN

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Slice chicken breast through the middle horizontally from one side to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Pound chicken flat until about 1/2-inch thick.
• Beat egg and cream together in a bowl.
• Combine crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, ground black pepper, and Italian seasoning in bowl; transfer breading to a plate.
• Dip chicken into egg mixture; coat completely. Press chicken into breading; thickly coat both sides.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; add ghee. Place chicken in the pan; cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Be careful to keep breading in place.
• Transfer chicken to a baking sheet. Cover with tomato sauce; top with mozzarella cheese.
• Broil until cheese is bubbling and barely browned, about 2 minutes.

CHICKEN PARMESAN - LOW FAT

Steps:

• Remove any clinging fat from the chicken and discard; wash and pat dry.
• Lay chicken between sheets of waxed paper- I save cereal box liners for this purpose; gently pound with the fleshy part of your fist (or a meat mallet) to flatten slightly.
• Rub all over with Italian dressing& let it sit while measuring out the remaining ingredients.
• Combine bread crumbs and seasonings on a piece of wax paper.
• Spray a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
• When hot, dredge dressing coated breasts through the bread crumb mixture and sauté until golden, about 5- 8 minutes per side.
• Spoon some spaghetti sauce on top of each breast, sprinkle with Parmesan& top with mozzarella; cover pan and continue to cook over medium heat until sauce is hot and cheese melts, about 3-5 minutes.
