Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup peri peri sauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 sliced avocado
• 2 pieces keto-friendly sandwich buns
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 1 sliced tomato
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, mix together the peri peri sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and let it sit for a minimum of 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to an hour for enhanced flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts onto the grill.

Step 4

Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sandwich components. Toast the keto-friendly buns lightly in a skillet or toaster.

Step 6

Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each bun. Place the lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each bun.

Step 7

Layer sliced tomatoes and avocado slices over the lettuce.

Step 8

Once the chicken is cooked, slice it and evenly distribute the slices over the avocado and tomato.

Step 9

Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.

Step 10

Enjoy your delicious Keto Peri Peri Chicken Sandwich!
