Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Low-carb burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 4 slices Pickles, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's well coated.
Transfer the chicken from the egg mixture to the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure the chicken is well coated with the breading.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the seared chicken in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the burgers by toasting the low-carb buns if desired.
Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each bun half.
Once the chicken is cooked, assemble the burgers by placing a piece of chicken on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
