Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast fillets
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 pieces Gluten-free burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 4 slices Pickles
Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
Step 2
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place gluten-free flour in the first bowl. In the second bowl, beat the eggs with a tablespoon of water. In the third bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat well in the breadcrumb mixture.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the schnitzels in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 5
Slice the gluten-free burger buns and lightly toast them if desired.
Step 6
To assemble each burger, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on each side of the bun. Place a piece of lettuce on the bottom half, followed by a schnitzel, a slice of tomato, a slice of pickle, and then top with the other half of the bun.
Step 7
Serve immediately with your choice of side.
