Ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup avocado oil
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the chicken breasts. Slice each breast in half horizontally to create four thin pieces. If needed, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently to even thickness.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and add the hot sauce. Whisk until fully combined.

Step 4

Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.

Step 5

Then, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres to both sides.

Step 6

Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 9

Assemble each burger by placing a chicken piece on a large lettuce leaf, followed by tomato slices, onion slices, and another piece of lettuce on top.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Crispy Chicken Burger.
