Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cheddar cheese slices
- 8 large lettuce leaves
- 4 slices pickles
- 0.25 cup sugar-free mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free ketchup
- 1 teaspoon dill pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the mixture into 8-medium sized, flat patties. They should be thin, about 1/4 inch thick, to mimic the original Big Mac patties.
Heat avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken patties in batches for about 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the patties are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing together the sugar-free mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, dill pickle juice, white vinegar, and mustard in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
Once all patties are cooked, place a slice of cheddar cheese on four of the patties while they're still hot to allow the cheese to melt.
To assemble, start with one lettuce leaf on the plate, then place a cheese-topped patty on it. Add a dollop of the sauce, one pickle slice, another lettuce leaf, and a plain chicken patty. Top with more sauce, another pickle slice, and finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Repeat the process for the remaining servings. Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Chicken Big Mac!
