• 60 grams Whey protein isolate
• 120 grams Panko breadcrumbs

• 1 sliced Tomato
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the buttermilk, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts into the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine whey protein isolate and panko breadcrumbs.

Step 4

After marinating, remove chicken breasts from the buttermilk and let excess drip off.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken breast thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere well.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they're golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 9

Lightly toast the whole wheat buns in the oven or on a skillet.

Step 10

Assemble the burger: spread low-fat mayonnaise on the bottom bun, place a lettuce leaf, add sliced tomatoes, then the crispy chicken, and top with the other bun half.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your high protein crispy chicken burger!
