Even on a diet , you have to have little ham and chicken ..lol ... good luck ....
Ham you have to be careful what kind you get, the sugar content can be quite high in some. Chicken is also good but depends on what you marinate it in or put on it. No breading at all but there is a thing I make called Keto Crumbs that makes a nice kinda Shake and Bake if you will. I have found that you want to make it 2 ways, 1 you want to pulverize the pork rinds into a powder and 2 you also want to just crush them. The pulverized powder helps to coat better but the crushed up ones give you that crunchy texture. Here is the recipe for that for any that may be on the diet or any diabetics as well.

Keto Crumbs – Low Carb Gluten Free Breadcrumb Mix
Fluffy Chix Cook Keto Crumbs as a low carb breadcrumb replacement. Keto Crumbs are Induction friendly and suitable for ketogenic, gluten free, sugar free, diabetic friendly lifestyles. Why give up "fried food" when you can switch to oven fried with this tasty, low carb keto, panko-style breadcrumb mix?
INGREDIENTS
2/3 cup pork rind crumbs (12 tablespoons)
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese Kraft or Organic Parmigiano Regiano Wedge, grated
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freeze-dried parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
Pork Rind Crumb Note: Grind up an entire bag of original flavor pork rinds using a food processor and store in a tightly sealed mason jar in the fridge or freezer. B/T (Bag and Tag). We use Bakenet's or Mac's brand. (Ingredients: pork, salt). Crumbs should be similar in texture to Japanese panko crumbs. They become "pork rind flour" at this point.
Combine ingredients in a large spice jar. Shake to mix well. Shake every time before applying Keto Crumbs to breaded foods.
Store in an airtight spice bottle or mason jar in the fridge or freezer up to 1 month.
NOTES
This is an inexact recipe. It's inexact because you can own it. That's right another "own it" recipe! If you like a more tender, cheesier breading, add more Parmesan. If you like a heavier, tougher, more pork-tastic breading, go with more pork rind crumbs in it. Adjust the spices to your preference. Don't add salt here because the pork rinds and Parmesan are both salty.
Fluffy Chix Cook a double recipe and store it in a large, empty Tone's Spice Jar with the shaker lid (the big ones you buy at Sam's on the spice isle). You can also keep Keto Crumbs in an old Parmesan cheese can or mason jar. Store in the fridge or freezer. Having low carb keto breading ready to go, makes oven-frying quick and easy! (You can also deep fat fry with these, but why have the hassle and clean-up? Grab 'n' Go!
Gluten Free Note – If you are gluten intolerant or sensitive, please be SURE to ONLY use certified gluten free herbs and spices. Grate your own Parmesan cheese – don't risk using the "green can."
Serving Ideas Use as a breading mix for proteins and veggies or as part of a crumb topping on casseroles.
