Ready in just 35 minutes, it's a quick, satisfying meal that's ideal for gluten-sensitive eaters or anyone craving a mouthwatering homemade chicken sandwich.
Begin by slicing each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four thin pieces.
In a shallow dish, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Season both sides of the chicken pieces with the spice mixture.
In a separate shallow dish, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until fully combined.
Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a final shallow dish.
Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure breadcrumbs adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken pieces, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Toast the gluten-free hamburger buns in the oven or on a skillet until lightly golden.
To assemble the sandwich, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun and mustard on the top half.
Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a piece of crispy breaded chicken, then add a slice of tomato.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
