The Best Keto Parmesan Crusted Chicken Thighs
/On this weekends Keto diet menu was Keto parmesan crusted chicken thighs with a little bit of low carb pizza sauce, so I guess you could even call them Keto chicken parmesan.
Since being on the Ketogenic diet we have been trying out more chicken thigh recipes since they are a fattier meat than chicken breasts.
This will defiantly be on our list of easy Keto weekly meal plan options more often.
If you have checked-out any of my other recipes you know that my newest obsession has been taking recipes that typically call for bread crumbs and turning them into Keto recipes using Pork Panko.
If you are following a Ketogenic Diet and love fried foods you should also check out:
Pork Panko is made from finely ground pork rinds and is the best replacement for panko breadcrumbs.
I use to just buy pork rinds and grind them up myself but wasn’t getting that crispy finish like I like.
I’m not sure if the company has some special process, but you can literally substitute Pork Panko directly for panko breadcrumbs in any recipe and you’ll get that flaky, crisp coating that all fried foods should have!
You should defiantly add Pork Panko to your online Keto grocery list!
Pro Tip: When you make your assembly line, one bowl with dry ingredients, one with wet ingredients and then the baking tray.
Use one hand for dipping in the wet, drop it in the dry ingredients and use your other hand to toss around and transfer to the baking sheet or else your two mixtures will get all messed up and it won’t turn out as well!
KETOGENIC DIET MACROS
I have found that most people starting out on Keto don't realize that you should be counting Net Carbs when following a Keto Diet.
So when you look at the nutrition label you subtract Fiber from the Total Carbs and that equals Net Carbs.
