Keto With Carla: Crispy Chicken Sandwich

Here's a recipe for a delicious Crispy Chicken Sandwich:

Ingredients:

Start by preparing the chicken breasts. Pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or the back of a heavy pan. This helps the chicken cook evenly and ensures a crispy exterior.
In three separate shallow bowls, prepare your breading station. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip them into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat them evenly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sandwich toppings. Toast the hamburger buns if desired.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread mayonnaise and mustard on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, and sliced red onions. Place the crispy chicken breast on top.
If desired, add pickles for extra flavor and a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce for some heat.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
