Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 4 pieces burger buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 large tomato
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.

Step 2

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, add all-purpose flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs with water. In the third dish, mix breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure the chicken is fully coated.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, slice the tomato and prepare the lettuce leaves.

Step 6

Once the chicken schnitzels are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with lemon juice to make a quick lemon mayo.

Step 8

To assemble the burgers, spread lemon mayo on the bottom half of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf, a schnitzel, a slice of tomato, and another lettuce leaf. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately for the best crispness and taste.
