Ingredients

• 2 whole chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 large butter lettuce leaves
• 1 sliced tomato
• 0.5 sliced red onion
• 1 sliced avocado
• 4 pieces pickle slices

Directions

Step 1

Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to make four thinner pieces, then gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and Dijon mustard.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl or plate, combine almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken pieces, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

Remove the cooked chicken schnitzels and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

To assemble each burger, lay two large butter lettuce leaves on a clean surface for the base.

Step 8

Place a chicken schnitzel on top of the lettuce, followed by tomato slices, red onion, avocado slices, and pickle slices.

Step 9

Top with two more lettuce leaves to close the 'bun'.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Chicken Schnitzel Burger!
