Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 250 ml Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 60 grams Whey protein isolate
- 120 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 pieces Whole wheat buns
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced Tomato
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise
Instructions
In a bowl, mix together the buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
In a shallow dish, combine whey protein isolate and panko breadcrumbs.
After marinating, remove chicken breasts from the buttermilk and let excess drip off.
Dredge each chicken breast thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere well.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Lightly toast the whole wheat buns in the oven or on a skillet.
Assemble the burger: spread low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom bun, place a lettuce leaf, add sliced tomatoes, then the crispy chicken, and top with the other bun half.
Serve hot and enjoy your high protein crispy chicken burger!
