Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup olive oil or avocado oil for frying
• 2 pieces low-carb burger buns
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 pieces lettuce leaves
• 4 slices tomato slices
• 6 slices pickle slices

Directions

Step 1

Begin by slicing the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create evenly thin pieces; this helps in cooking evenly.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until smooth.

Step 4

Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, and then press it into the almond flour mixture on both sides.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the olive or avocado oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken pieces.

Step 6

Fry the chicken for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until crispy, golden brown, and fully cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove the fried chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on each low-carb burger bun.

Step 9

Place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of each bun, then top with a lettuce leaf, tomato slices, and pickle slices.

Step 10

Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately, enjoying your low-carb KFC style fried chicken sandwich.
