Ingredients

• 2 chicken breast fillets
• 0.75 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 0.5 cup avocado oil
• 1 head large iceberg lettuce
• 0.25 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
• 4 slices pickles

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breast fillets between two pieces of wax paper and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are of even thickness, approximately 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, parmesan cheese, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and almond milk to create an egg wash.

Step 4

Dip each chicken fillet first in the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it completely with the almond flour mixture. Press the mixture onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated chicken fillets in the skillet. Fry them for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Step 7

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing together the mayonnaise and sugar-free ketchup in a small bowl.

Step 8

Remove large leaves from the iceberg lettuce to use as burger wraps.

Step 9

Once the chicken is cooked, let them drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 10

To assemble, place a chicken fillet on a lettuce leaf, spread a tablespoon of keto sauce on the chicken, and top with two slices of pickles. Wrap it up securely with another large leaf of lettuce.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Zinger Burger!
