- Preheat oven to 450F.
- Slice chicken breasts lengthwise. In a small bowl whisk eggs, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper.
- Add to a shallow bowl. Allow chicken cutlets to sit in the egg mixture, rotating to coat. Allow to sit 15 minutes covered.
- In a shallow bowl mix together the pork rinds, almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder and onion powder.
- Dip chicken in crumb mixture one at a time after letting the egg wash drip away a bit before covering in the breading.
- Flip and press lightly to coat the other side. Place the chicken cutlets on a baking sheet. Let them sit for 5 minutes while you heat up the frying oil in an oven proof skillet. The oil will be at the correct temperature when the end of a wooden spoon forms bubbles when placed in the oil.
- Fry each cutlet for 5 minutes on each side with the oil at a medium temperature. Remove from the skillet once they are all fried. Remove oil from the pan and wipe clean.
- Dump all sauce ingredients in the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Now with the marinara sauce in the oven proof skillet, put the chicken cutlets in the sauce.
- Spoon the sauce over the cutlets so they are covered. Mix all of the topping ingredients together in a small bowl then sprinkle over each cutlet in the skillet.
- Place the skillet in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted.
If you do not have an ovenproof skillet, put the cutlets in a 9x13 pan and cover with sauce, then cheese, proceed with baking the cutlets as described.
