If you love healthy snacks, you are going to LOVE these new grain-free pretzels by FitJoy Foods!! They are the only grain-free pretzel on the market and they are sooo good!! These pretzels are made with real foods, nothing fake, and they contain carefully sourced gourmet ingredients like Himalayan pink salt, sunflower oil, cassava flour, organic honey, etc.

FitJoy uses gourmet ingredients, not like the vegetable oil, corn starch, all-purpose flour, corn oil, or table salt you find in other pretzels.

What are grain-free breadcrumbs?

Now you can have grain-free breadcrumbs !! Just use FitJoy Grain-Free Pretzels to make your breadcrumbs!! I used FitJoy pretzels instead of bread crumbs for these gluten free chicken cutlets. 

These chicken cutlets were the perfect base for my gluten free chicken parmesan recipe, but you can also serve these gluten free chicken cutlets smothered in gravy with mashed potatoes, in a chicken sandwich, or eat them plain!

To make these grain-free breadcrumbs, just put your FitJoy Pretzels into a food processor and blend. I like a "chunkier" texture with both small and large chunks of pretzel...it adds to the crunchiness of the coating!

Instructions:

Add your breadcrumbs, parmesan, basil, garlic powder, and salt to a bowl. Mix it all together. 

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Add mixed eggs to a bowl and add the breadcrumb mixture to another bowl. Dip the chicken into the egg, then dip into the breadcrumbs. Move the chicken to a baking dish. Repeat until all of the chicken is coated.

Tip:

Slice your chicken breasts lengthwise in half to make a thin chicken cutlet. This will make your chicken thin and crispier on the outside.)

Bake for 20 minutes until mostly done.

Top with marinara sauce. You can make this homemade marinara sauce, or jarred marinara sauce. Try this if you prefer a roasted tomato sauce.

Add mozzarella cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted...about 8-10 more minutes. Serve with gluten free pasta!!

Sprinkle with fresh basil and dig in!! Your whole family is going to love this easy chicken parmesan! You will also love this Gluten Free Chicken Cordon Bleu recipe...talk about a delicious crisp coating!
