Looking for a satisfying chicken recipe in less than 30 minutes? This super easy keto chicken Milanese is crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside! The family will request it week after week! I love using flavorful pork rinds as a breading on meats. It's a great alternative to traditional breadcrumbs made with bread. I honestly think the pork rind breading is better! I love serving this keto chicken Milanese with a simple arugula salad for an easy, yet elegant dinner.
What is a chicken breast cutlet?
This is a chicken breast that has been sliced in half lengthwise. You can find them in the grocery store or you can make your own. Simply take a normal boneless skinless chicken breast and slice it in half lengthwise. Now you have 2 chicken breast cutlets!
Where do I find pork rind crumbs?
These are becoming more and more readily available at grocery stores. I have found them at Walmart, on Amazon, or you can make your own using a bag of pork rinds and a food processor. It's definitely cheaper to make your own but it can be messy.
