I love sharing these low-carb skinny recipes with you guys! Helping you all meet your health goals makes my heart happy! This Skinny Cauliflower-Crusted Chicken is the perfect lean and green recipe to add to your meal plan!

What ingredients do you need to make this Skinny Cauliflower-Crusted Chicken?

• thinly sliced chicken breasts
  If you can’t find thinly sliced chicken, you can just slice the chicken horizontally into 2 thin breasts. Make sure your chicken breasts are even in thickness so that they bake up evenly.
• creole seasoning
  You can use a seasoned salt too. My favorite creole seasoning is Tony Chachere’s.
• riced cauliflower
  I buy the frozen bag of riced cauliflower. You can even get a garlic-herb one too. I just heat it in the bag in the microwave. Be careful because steam from bag will be hot.
• shredded parmesan
• shredded mozzarella
• egg
• dried Italian Seasoning
• Rao’s Tomato Basil Sauce
• parsley
  You can use fresh or dried parsley or just leave it out.
