STEPS

Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

Slice chicken breast through the middle horizontally from one side to within ½ inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Pound chicken flat until about ½-inch thick.

Beat egg and cream together in a bowl.

Combine crushed pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, red pepper, black pepper, and Italian seasoning in a separate shallow bowl or plate.

Dip chicken into egg mixture; coat completely. Press chicken into breading; thickly coat both sides.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat; add ghee. Place chicken in the pan; cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 3 minutes per side. Be careful to keep breading in place.

Transfer chicken to a baking sheet. Cover with tomato sauce; top with mozzarella cheese.

Broil until cheese is bubbling and barely browned, about 2 minutes.
