Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Low-carb burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 4 slices Pickles, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's well coated.
Step 6
Transfer the chicken from the egg mixture to the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure the chicken is well coated with the breading.
Step 7
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Bake the seared chicken in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 10
While the chicken is baking, prepare the burgers by toasting the low-carb buns if desired.
Step 11
Spread mayonnaise on the inside of each bun half.
Step 12
Once the chicken is cooked, assemble the burgers by placing a piece of chicken on the bottom bun, followed by lettuce, tomato slices, and pickles.
Step 13
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
