Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 medium Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Sriracha
• 0.5 cup Cucumber, sliced thinly
• 0.25 cup Radish, julienned
• 0.25 cup Carrot, julienned
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 small Jalapeño, sliced thinly
• 1 whole Lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

To make the low-carb baguette, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and water.

Step 4

Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a baguette shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Bake for 30-35 minutes until the baguette is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 7

While the baguette is baking, marinate the chicken. Mix soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl, then coat the chicken breasts thoroughly.

Step 8

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing thinly.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with sriracha to make a spicy mayo spread.

Step 10

Once the baguette has cooled slightly, slice it lengthwise and spread the sriracha mayo on both sides.

Step 11

Layer the chicken, cucumber slices, radish, carrot, cilantro, and jalapeño inside the baguette.

Step 12

Serve with lime wedges on the side for drizzling before eating.
