Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 0.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cups Coconut flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced Tomato
- 1 sliced Avocado
Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of parchment paper and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten them to about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Beat the egg in another shallow dish.
Step 4
Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the breading adheres well.
Step 5
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, adding more oil if necessary.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on each plate as the base. Top with a breaded chicken breast, slices of tomato and avocado, and another lettuce leaf if desired.
Step 9
Serve immediately, substituting the lettuce leaves as the bun for a fully paleo experience.
