Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 1 medium Avocado
- 4 tablespoons Whole30-compliant mayonnaise
Instructions
Pound each chicken breast to even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick, to ensure even cooking.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the egg until thoroughly mixed.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat them in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, slice the tomato and avocado.
To assemble the burger, place a lettuce leaf on a plate, top with a cooked chicken breast, add slices of tomato and avocado, a tablespoon of mayonnaise, and cover with another lettuce leaf.
Repeat for the second serving and serve immediately.
