Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced Tomato
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 8 slices Pickles
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
Dip each chicken breast piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Next, dredge the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere the coating to the chicken.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and olive oil together.
Add the coated chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy, with an internal temperature of 165°F.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by mixing mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.
To assemble the sandwiches, take two large lettuce leaves for each serving and layer with a piece of crispy chicken, a slice of tomato, two pickle slices, and a spoonful of the mayo-mustard sauce.
Fold the lettuce leaves over the filling and serve immediately.
