Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- as needed olive oil spray
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomatoes
- 4 slices sliced onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the buttermilk substitute by mixing the almond milk and apple cider vinegar in a bowl. Set aside for 5 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate shallow bowl, add the prepared almond milk mixture.
Place breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Pound each chicken breast to a consistent thickness using a meat mallet, about 1/2 inch thick.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then shake off any excess.
Next, dip the chicken into the almond milk mixture, fully submerging it.
Finally, coat the chicken liberally with breadcrumbs, pressing them firmly to ensure they adhere well.
Arrange the breaded chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
Spray the top of each chicken breast with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through and golden brown.
While the chicken is baking, prepare your burger by placing a lettuce leaf, tomato slice, and onion slice on the bottom half of each bun.
Once the chicken is done, place a piece of the breaded chicken onto each prepared bun.
Top with the remaining half of the bun and serve immediately.
