- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup High smoke point oil (avocado or coconut oil)

Directions
Step 1
Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner pieces. Lightly pound them to an even thickness with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each piece of chicken first into the egg mixture, then into the almond flour mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly coated.
Step 5
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and hot sauce to make a spicy mayo sauce.
Step 8
To assemble each low carb burger: Take two large cabbage leaves to substitute for buns. Place the cooked chicken patty on one cabbage leaf, add shredded lettuce, a slice of tomato, pickles, and a generous dollop of spicy mayo sauce. Top with another cabbage leaf.
Step 9
Secure the burger with a skewer or toothpick if needed and serve immediately.
