Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Dill pickle juice
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Almond flour
• 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 2 pieces Low carb burger buns

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag and add the pickle juice. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight, to marinate.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, beat the egg with the heavy cream to create an egg wash.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 5

Coat each chicken breast in the egg wash, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, ensuring an even coat on all sides.

Step 6

In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 7

Fry the coated chicken breasts in the skillet until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken is cooking, slice the tomato and prepare the lettuce.

Step 9

Toast the low carb burger buns if desired.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwiches by placing a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each bun. Top with lettuce, tomato slices, and the top bun half.

Step 11

Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb chicken sandwich.
