Caprese Salad

Instructions

Chicken

  • Pound chicken breast to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
  • Prepare the breading. Combine pork rinds, parmesan, oregano, pepper, and garlic powder in a food processor and pulse until a uniform powder is formed.
  • Prepare the egg wash. Crack an egg in a bowl and beat until white/yolk are combined.
  • Bread the chicken: Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Dip each piece into the egg wash, followed by the breading mixture. Place on a plate and allow to rest for 5 minutes prior to frying.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Spray with olive oil or coconut oil and add the chicken. Cook 8-10 minutes on each side.

Caprese Salad

  • Heat a pan over high heat with 1 tsp of ghee. When the pan is up to temperature add the cherry tomatoes as well as the rosemary. Cook for 2-3 minutes. We want the tomatoes to begin to blister, but not fully cook down.
  • Allow the tomatoes to cool until they are warm to the touch. Toss in the mozzarella and serve beside/atop the chicken.
  • Drizzle the Caprese Chicken with olive oil.
