Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 0.5 cup crushed pork rinds
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large lettuce leaves
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 medium avocado
Instructions
Start by slicing the chicken breast horizontally into two thinner cutlets for even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, crushed pork rinds, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the egg along with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Dip each chicken fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Then, dredge the coated chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating well.
Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Fry the chicken fillets in the skillet, about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken cooks, prepare the burger additions: slice the tomato and avocado, and rinse the lettuce leaves.
To assemble the burger, place a lettuce leaf on a plate, top with a crispy chicken fillet, slices of tomato and avocado, then finish with another lettuce leaf on top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Crispy Chicken Burger!
