Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare three shallow bowls: one with gluten-free flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with gluten-free breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pound the chicken breasts lightly to ensure even thickness.
Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour, shaking off excess, then into the egg, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken breasts in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, slice the tomato and prepare the lettuce leaves.
Toast the gluten-free buns lightly if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading a tablespoon of mayonnaise on each half of the toasted buns. Place a cooked chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun.
Add a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on top of the chicken.
Close the burgers with the top half of the buns and serve immediately.
