Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Beat the egg in another shallow dish.
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.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
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.
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
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.
Serve immediately, substituting the lettuce leaves as the bun for a fully paleo experience.
