Execution:
The only thing special about this recipe is the substitution of crushed pork rinds for breading and zucchini noodles rather than wheat based pasta.
Brutally flatten your chicken

Crush your pork rinds (use your hands or wrap and pound with the tenderizer). I've not figured out the best way to do this yet.
Then bread with egg and crushed rinds
Into the oven at 400. Cook until almost done (270 degrees or so) before adding the mozzarella
Add mozzarella to melt
Finish up with zucchini noodles. Steam them just a little in a pan a little water and olive oil. Think al dente zucc. maybe 5 minutes.
Assemble and serve
Verdict:
Another winner. I prefer the pork rind breading to flour, it has more flavor and a crunchier texture. The zucchini noodles are a fair substitute. They have more water in them and tend to weep. Need to figure out how to fix that...
Next time I'll try to dry them in a colander for 20 minutes with salt maybe squeeze them? Wash the salt off later if it is too salty.
