I wanted you to know that we tried this recipe. It is "husband approved."
I first tried it with chicken tenders and baked them (not frying first). I prefer to place my own sauce on it when it's on the plate, so I didn't put the sauce on it when baking. We both liked it enough for me to try it another way.
The second try was with thinly sliced chicken breast put in the air fryer (since I don't like baking it in the sauce). This was even better! I suppose if we put the chicken tenders in the air fryer we would have liked it just as much. This way I didn't have to dirty up the kitchen with splattering grease!
It's a winner!
I imagine it was crispier than baking with the sauce.
It's incredible how many keto recipes are as good as the traditional meals.
Since I didn't fry the tenders before baking, they weren't very crispy at all. However, if I put them in the air fryer next time, like I did the slices, they should be crispy. I like the crispy, as does my husband.
I'm also not a big fan of cheese (I know, someone from Wisconsin not a big fan of cheese, who would have thought), so I don't need to melt it on top (you wouldn't believe the looks I get when I'm at an Italian restaurant and I order chicken parmesan with no cheese on top). My husband would rather have parmesan cheese on top, too, so putting the sauce on when it's plated makes for a crispier crust. Plus I can have as little or as much sauce as I want (and since I LOVE tomato...).
Now we're going to need a whole, "Cooking with Shaine" show. ;-)
More like, Cooking with Alma. I was just the happy quality control inspector.
Go! Alma! Go!
How fun! No pics of the meal though?
It's not something I think about. I don't take my phone to the dinner table, so I just don't think about doing any pictures.
