Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large avocado
- 1 medium tomato
- 0.5 small red onion
- 8 large lettuce leaves
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken cutlets. If the chicken breasts are thick, slice them in half horizontally to create thinner pieces.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs to coat, then transfer to the flour mixture and coat evenly. Press the coating onto the chicken to adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken cutlets.
Cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sandwich toppings. Slice the avocado, tomato, and red onion.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes.
Assemble the sandwich by starting with a large lettuce leaf as the base, place a chicken cutlet on top, then add slices of avocado, tomato, and red onion.
Top with another lettuce leaf to finalize the sandwich. Serve immediately.
