Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• 4 tablespoons keto-friendly mayonnaise
• 2 keto-friendly burger buns

Directions

Step 1

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Dip each chicken breast first in the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and add butter and olive oil.

Step 6

Once the butter is melted and hot, add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet.

Step 7

Cook each side for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 8

Remove chicken schnitzels from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Assemble the burger by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each keto-friendly bun.

Step 10

Add the schnitzel on top of the lettuce, followed by slices of tomato.

Step 11

Spread 2 tablespoons of keto-friendly mayonnaise on the top half of the bun.

Step 12

Place the top bun over the assembled burger, secure with a toothpick if necessary, and serve immediately.
