Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast fillets
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 medium, sliced tomato
- 4 slices pickles
- 2 tablespoons low carb mayonnaise
- 2 pieces low carb burger buns
Instructions
Start by patting the chicken breast fillets dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, mix the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly.
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Dip each chicken fillet first in the beaten eggs, ensuring it's coated well, and then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing it onto the fillet to adhere well.
Carefully place the coated chicken into the hot pan, frying for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the buns by spreading mayonnaise on the inner sides.
Place a slice of lettuce on the bottom part of each bun, followed by slices of tomato and pickles.
Once the chicken is cooked, place each fillet on top of the prepared buns and cover with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb fried chicken burger!
