Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 large egg whites
- 4 whole wheat buns
- 0.5 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey mustard
- 4 romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 slices sliced tomatoes
- 1 medium, sliced avocado
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each breast in half horizontally to create two thin pieces, resulting in four pieces total.
In a shallow dish, mix the whole wheat breadcrumbs with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg whites, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press lightly to ensure a good coating.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray each piece with olive oil spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning once, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
While the chicken bakes, mix the low-fat Greek yogurt with honey mustard in a small bowl to create the burger sauce.
To assemble the burgers, spread a spoonful of the yogurt and honey mustard sauce on the bottom half of each whole wheat bun.
Layer a piece of crispy chicken schnitzel, a leaf of romaine lettuce, a slice of tomato, and a few avocado slices onto each bun.
Top with the remaining bun halves, and serve immediately.
