Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 cup Avocado oil or olive oil
• 4 large Lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Tomato, sliced
• 4 slices Pickles, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the crispy coating. In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Beat the eggs in another shallow dish until they are evenly mixed and slightly frothy.

Step 3

Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create two thinner pieces, which will help them cook evenly and become crispier.

Step 4

Dip one piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then immediately dredge it into the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure a good coating. Repeat the process with all chicken pieces.

Step 5

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 6

Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Adjust heat if necessary to avoid burning.

Step 7

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the burger assembly. Mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard in a small bowl.

Step 8

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and let it drain on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.

Step 9

To assemble each burger: Start with a large lettuce leaf as the base, place a piece of crispy chicken on top, add a slice of tomato, a few pickle slices, and a dollop of the mayo-mustard mixture. Top with another lettuce leaf to act as the bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately while the chicken is crispy and hot. Enjoy your delicious low-carb crispy chicken burger!
