Slice the chicken breasts in half to make them thinner for better cooking and crispiness.

Season both sides of the chicken with kosher salt.

Prepare dredging setup: in one container, beat 1 egg; in another container, mix pork rind panko and grated parmesan cheese.

Dredge the chicken: use one hand for wet (egg) and the other for dry (breadcrumb mixture). Coat both sides of the chicken and press to adhere.

Heat avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Cook the chicken for 5 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes until cooked through.

Nestle the chicken back into the skillet and top with additional marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Broil in the oven for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
