Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder on both sides.
Step 3
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and place almond flour in a separate dish.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast in the egg wash, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
Step 5
Dredge the egg-coated chicken breasts in almond flour, pressing lightly so it adheres to the chicken.

Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (73°C).
Step 9
Remove chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 10
Slice the tomato into thin slices.
Step 11
Assemble the sandwiches: place one chicken breast on top of two stacked lettuce leaves, add tomato slices, and drizzle with ranch dressing. Cover with another two stacked lettuce leaves.
