Default Chicken Parmesan

Tried this tonight and it was EXCELLENT! You could even serve over pasta for the carb eaters. I didn't miss the pasta at all!

Chicken breasts
Pork Rinds
1 TBSP Italian seasoning
Parmesan cheese (I used the grated kind with no added fillers)
Mayonnaise
Low carb (or lowest carb count you can find) marinara sauce
Shredded cheese of choice (I used an Italian blend)

Crush the pork rinds/seasoning/grated parmesan together. Dredge the chicken through the mayonnaise and then dredge through the pork rinds mixture.

Bake the "breaded" chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet with a little oil added for about 20 minutes at 375 until lightly browned. Transfer to a greased baking dish, top with the marinara and shredded cheese, and bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes until bubbly.

The pork rind mixture really seemed like breading to me. It held together nicely with baking the breasts in the oven first. The marinara sauce I used had 3 net carbs per half cup (which is the amount I used for the recipe). I used 3 chicken breast halves, so maybe 2 total net carbs per piece with the added cheeses?
