Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 4 tablespoons keto-friendly mayonnaise
- 2 keto-friendly burger buns
Instructions
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Dip each chicken breast first in the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add butter and olive oil.
Once the butter is melted and hot, add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet.
Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Assemble the burger by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each keto-friendly bun.
Add the schnitzel on top of the lettuce, followed by slices of tomato.
Spread 2 tablespoons of keto-friendly mayonnaise on the top half of the bun.
Place the top bun over the assembled burger, secure with a toothpick if necessary, and serve immediately.
