Low Carb Chicken Parm

Jay and I have been going strong on our 30 days strictly  low carbs. We only  have 4 days left!! We made some delicious zucchini fries, and I decided to try out that coating to make chicken parmesan. It was a winner!

Low Carb Chicken Parm

For the "breading":
1 c Pork Rind Flour (I just put the pork rinds in a ziploc and rolled it with my rolling pin)
1/3 c Parmesan Cheese (Green Can works. Needs to be a powder and not a shredded parm.)
½ tsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp. Parsley Flakes
¼ tsp. Cayenne Pepper
½ tsp. Paprika
½ tsp. Black Pepper

2 chicken breasts
1 egg whisked with a small amount of water to make an egg wash
mozzarella cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Combine ingredients for the "breading"  in a ziploc bag
3. Slice chicken breasts in half; The thinner breasts cook faster.
4. Dip chicken breasts in egg wash 
5. Place chicken breasts one at a time in ziploc with the breading and shake to coat
6. Place chicken on a greased cookie sheet and repeat with remaining  chicken
7. Cook chicken in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes or until cooked through
8. Remove chicken from oven and t0p with a low carb spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese
9. Place pan back in oven under broiler until cheese has melted
10. Enjoy!!

Pizza Dip

I posted a picture last night and had immediate requests for the recipe. Ask and you shall receive ;)

Jay and I are cutting out carbs for a bit, and my sweet boy was craving pizza like nothing else. Of course we've done a LOT of cauliflower pizza and it's good, but I wanted something that didn't feel so good for me. I am by no means saying this recipe is healthy, it just gives you that feeling a good pizza gives you without having all the carbs from that delicious crust. We at it with fresh red bell peppers and it was delicious. Try it and let me know if you like it, and don't forget to tag your picture! #thingsthatmakeyousayyum

 Pizza Dip

• 1  block cream cheese, softened
• 8 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
• 8 ounces grated provolone cheese, 
• 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese 
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup freshly chopped basil leaves
• 1/2 small onion finely diced
• 1/4 cup low carb pizza sauce
• 20 pepperonis quarted

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Mix softened cream cheese with about 7 ounces each of provolone and mozzarella, then add parmesan. Stir in basil, garlic, and onion mixing well to combine. Transfer mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. (I used my pyrex pie dish.) Top the cheese mixture with the pizza sauce, and then the pepperoni. Sprinkle with remaining provolone and mozzarella. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until top is golden and bubbly. Serve immediately! I'm sure it would be absolutely delish served with some nice crusty bread or crackers, but as I said before it was fabulous served with fresh veggies!
