Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Gluten-free burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 slices Pickles
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place gluten-free flour in the first bowl. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with a tablespoon of water. In the third bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat well in the breadcrumb mixture.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the schnitzels in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Slice the gluten-free burger buns and lightly toast them if desired.
To assemble each burger, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each side of the bun. Place a piece of lettuce on the bottom half, followed by a schnitzel, a slice of tomato, a slice of pickle, and then top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately with your choice of side.
