Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Avocado oil
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 4 slices Pickles, sliced
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons Sugar-free ketchup
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, and then dredge in the almond flour mixture. Press the coating onto the chicken to ensure it sticks well.
In a large skillet, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fried chicken from the skillet and let it drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Assemble the burgers by placing a cooked chicken breast onto each lettuce leaf. Top with sliced tomato, pickles, a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and a tablespoon of sugar-free ketchup.
Fold the lettuce to enclose the filling or use another leaf to top for extra crunch, then serve immediately.
