Ingredients
- 2 large pieces Chicken breast
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 2 Keto-friendly sandwich buns
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 3
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts and let them sit for 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the egg with the heavy cream to create an egg wash.
Step 5
In another bowl, combine almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese to make a breading mixture.
Step 6
Dip each chicken breast first in the egg wash, then thoroughly coat them with the almond flour mixture. Ensure they're evenly coated.
Step 7
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken breasts. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
Step 9
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the keto buns by toasting them lightly.
Step 10
Assemble the sandwich by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a cooked chicken breast.
Step 11
Top with slices of tomato, avocado, and finish with another lettuce leaf.
Step 12
Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich and serve immediately.
