Place the flour in a shallow bowl.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk until well combined.
In a third bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each plant-based chicken cutlet first in flour, shaking off excess, then in the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the breaded cutlets in the hot oil for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with Dijon mustard.
Toast the burger buns lightly in a dry skillet or toaster.
To assemble, spread a layer of mayonnaise mixture on the bottom half of each bun.
Place a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by a schnitzel cutlet.
Top the schnitzel with tomato slices and pickle slices.
Cover with the top half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegetarian Chicken Schnitzel Burger.
