Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 4 large lettuce leaves
• 1 small tomato
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts until they are about 1/2 inch thick. This helps the chicken to cook evenly.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the egg lightly.

Step 4

Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, making sure both sides are well-coated.

Step 5

Next, dredge the chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure a good coating on all sides.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the chicken cutlets to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado spread by mashing the avocado in a small bowl. Add lemon juice and mayonnaise, and mix until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Slice the tomato into thin slices.

Step 10

To assemble each sandwich, take one or two large lettuce leaves, spread a spoonful of avocado mixture over them, place a chicken cutlet on top, add tomato slices, and cover with another lettuce leaf.

Step 11

Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
