Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 100 grams almond flour
- 50 grams parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 keto-friendly burger buns
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 4 slices pickles
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the egg until well mixed.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast into the egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to adhere.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Remove the chicken schnitzels from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayonnaise on the bottom half of each burger bun.
Step 9
Place two lettuce leaves and a schnitzel on top.
Step 10
Add slices of tomato, pickles, and a drizzle of mustard.
Step 11
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
