Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 100 grams almond flour
- 50 grams parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 keto-friendly burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 4 slices pickles
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the egg until well mixed.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken schnitzels from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun.
Place two lettuce leaves and a schnitzel on top.
Add slices of tomato, pickles, and a drizzle of mustard.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
