Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 2 Gluten-free hamburger buns
• 2 Lettuce leaves
• 1 Tomato, sliced
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Mustard

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing each chicken breast in half horizontally to create four thin pieces.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Season both sides of the chicken pieces with the spice mixture.

Step 4

In a separate shallow dish, place the gluten-free all-purpose flour.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until fully combined.

Step 6

Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs in a final shallow dish.

Step 7

Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure breadcrumbs adhere.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken pieces, cooking for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Transfer cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Toast the gluten-free hamburger buns in the oven or on a skillet until lightly golden.

Step 12

To assemble the sandwich, spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun and mustard on the top half.

Step 13

Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a piece of crispy breaded chicken, then add a slice of tomato.

Step 14

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
