Ingredients

• 1 large chicken breast
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 0.5 cup crushed pork rinds
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 large lettuce leaves
• 1 medium tomato
• 0.5 medium avocado

Directions

Step 1

Start by slicing the chicken breast horizontally into two thinner cutlets for even cooking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the egg along with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined.

Step 4

Dip each chicken fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 5

Then, dredge the coated chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating well.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Fry the chicken fillets in the skillet, about 6-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken cooks, prepare the burger additions: slice the tomato and avocado, and rinse the lettuce leaves.

Step 9

To assemble the burger, place a lettuce leaf on a plate, top with a crispy chicken fillet, slices of tomato and avocado, then finish with another lettuce leaf on top.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Crispy Chicken Burger!
