Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast halves
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced tomato
- 0.5 sliced red onion
- 1 avocado
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Pound each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs well.
Dip each chicken breast first in the beaten eggs, then dredge them in the almond flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet, cooking about 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the burger toppings by slicing the tomato, red onion, and avocado.
Mash the avocado in a small bowl and add lemon juice to taste, mixing well.
When the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and place each piece on a large lettuce leaf.
Top each chicken schnitzel with sliced tomato, red onion, and a generous spoonful of the mashed avocado.
Wrap with another lettuce leaf to form a 'bun' and serve immediately.
