You're gonna love this DIY Shake and Bake
Sorry, Kraft. I used to love your Shake 'n Bake mixes as I was always able to bake extra juicy chicken and pork chops. Now I need something low carb, sugar-free, ketogenic, and with no added chemicals or any unnatural ingredients! Since something like that isn't available I decided to make my own! 🙂
Readers, you're gonna love this healthy shake and bake, here's why:
No Breadcrumbs. No gluten.
That's right, a homemade shake and bake without breadcrumbs! This means it's low carb, keto-friendly, and gluten-free. What's the secret ingredient? Pork Panko! 🙂 Yep. Pork panko. You'll be amazed at how good this is!
Tastes Better Than The Original
I love this better than the original because it has more flavor. Because I've used pork panko the crust becomes crispy and preserves the moisture in the meat! Yum.

Shake and Bake Recipe FAQs
How do you make shake and bake chicken not soggy?
Place the chicken on a rack instead of directly in the pan.
Do you grease the pan for shake and bake?
I always lightly spray my pan with cooking spray before cooking chicken just to help prevent sticking. The sticking is minimal so you don’t really need to grease the pan.
Are bread crumbs the same as shake and bake?
No bread crumbs are different. Regular bread crumbs do not have any seasoning, whereas shake and bake is a fully seasoned coating mix ready to bake with your chicken or bake.
