Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium Jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 whole leaves Butter lettuce leaves (for wraps)
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, egg, finely chopped jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 2
Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties roughly 1/2-inch thick.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Step 4
Cook the chicken patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C or 165°F).
Step 5
While the patties are cooking, prepare the spicy mayonnaise by mixing the sugar-free hot sauce and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
Step 6
To assemble, lay two butter lettuce leaves on a plate to serve as the 'bun.' Place a cooked chicken patty on top, add a slice or two of avocado, and drizzle with the spicy mayonnaise.
Step 7
Top with two more butter lettuce leaves to complete the burger. Repeat for the remaining patties.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto spicy chicken burger!
