About the Dish:
Chicken parmesan is such a staple.
However, it is usually coated in gluten bread crumbs and fried in seed oils, with a side of gluten pasta. This can leave you feeling heavy and unhappy after.
This recipe gives you all of the same delicious flavors with none of the guilt or heavy feeling!
The egg “noodles” are two simple ingredients:
egg whites and beef gelatin
They are cooked like crepes and then sliced thin to resemble pasta. If you eat a pretty clean diet, these will definitely curb any pasta craving you might have. If not, give them a try anyway! They are super easy.
Epic Pork Rinds
I love this company and what they stand for.
They actually invented EPIC products after being vegetarians and following the long believed “low fat, high carb diet”. When this way of eating made them ill and undernourished, they created grass-fed animal products with no unnecessary ingredients!
Their products are 100% grade fed and they strive to convert ranchers to pasture-raised farming. They overall try to improve animal welfare and promote building better farming ecosystems.
The only ingredients are pork skin and salt!

Equipment:
2 Cast iron pans (or any skillets)
1 large for chicken and 1 med/small for egg noodles
Mallet to tenderize meat
Plate
Medium bowl
Spatula
Sharp knife
Cheese grater (optional)
Ingredients:
Chicken:
2 large chicken breast
1 bag of EPIC pork rinds (2.5oz)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs for coating chicken
3-4 Tbsp. tallow for frying
Egg “Noodles”:
1 cup egg whites
(I usually just use however many I have on hand from saving them during times when I only use egg yolks)
Its okay if there are some egg yolks included as well, sometimes I accidentally drop one in there while separating the whites.
2 Tbsp unflavored beef gelatin
Butter to coat pan for frying
Sauce and cheese to top is optional!
Steps:
Grind your pork rinds with a food processor or blender for 30 seconds-1 minute. I like mine to be very finely ground, no big chunks.
Place the pork rinds on a plate and add your seasonings, mixing thoroughly.
Crack 2 eggs into a medium bowl and whisk, set off to the side.
If the chicken breasts are thick, I like to pound them down with a meat mallet until they are thin.
This gives a crispy and quicker cook. If you prefer the breast to stay thick that’s fine, it will just take longer to cook.
Take your chicken breasts, coat them in your whisked eggs and then coat them in the pork rind/seasoning mixture until the whole chicken breast is fully coated. *see Instagram video for visual
Set the chicken off to the side for a few minutes so you can prep your egg noodles. If you only want to make the chicken, skip those steps.
For the egg noodles: place your egg whites and beef gelatin in your blender of food processer and blend for 30 seconds-1 minute until thoroughly blended.
Get your medium and small skillets and turn them on medium.
Once warm, place tallow in your medium pan and add your chicken breast.
Cook chicken breast approximately 5-7 minutes on each side or until they reach 165*F and remove from pan.
Place butter in your small pan and add your first batch of egg noodles batter to the pan (think crepes), just enough to cover the bottom of the pan, a thin layer.
These little omelets will only take 30 sec-1 minute on each side, they cook quick!
Remove from the skillet once its cooked and just slightly golden.
Place it on a plate and start your next one, layering them on the plate as they are done cooking.
Once all of your egg noodle “omelets” are done cooking, roll them up and cut them so they look like noodles!

Plate your chicken breast and egg noodles with whatever sauce and cheese you desire! In my video I used a homemade tomato sauce and raw parmesan.
