Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 2 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup avocado oil (for frying)
• 3 tablespoons keto-friendly hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 units keto-friendly hamburger buns
• 4 slices pickle slices
• 2 leaves lettuce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk.

Step 4

Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.

Step 5

Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet and fry for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the keto-friendly hot sauce and melted butter to create the spicy sauce, then brush it generously over the fried chicken breasts.

Step 8

Lightly toast the keto-friendly hamburger buns in a dry skillet or toaster.

Step 9

Assemble the sandwiches by layering each bottom bun with lettuce (if using), a spicy chicken breast, pickle slices, and the top bun.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Spicy Hot Chicken Sandwich!
