Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 4 Burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato
- 4 slices Pickles
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk.
Spread the panko breadcrumbs on a large plate.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, then press it into the breadcrumbs, coating both sides. Press firmly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well. Repeat for all chicken breasts.
In a large skillet over medium heat, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom about 1/4 inch deep. Heat until a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped in.
Fry the schnitzels, two at a time if needed, for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Lightly toast the burger buns.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, mix the dairy-free mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.
Assemble the burgers by spreading the mayo-mustard mixture on the bottom half of each bun.
Layer a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, a chicken schnitzel, pickles, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your dairy-free chicken schnitzel burgers!
