Elevate your breakfast or dinner routine with this flavorful Keto Chicken Longanisa—a low-carb twist on the beloved Filipino sausage. Made with ground chicken and seasoned to perfection with coconut aminos, garlic powder, paprika, and a hint of cayenne pepper, this recipe delivers the signature sweet and savory taste of longanisa while keeping it keto-friendly. Sweetened with erythritol and balanced with tangy apple cider vinegar, these succulent sausages are pan-fried in coconut oil for a golden, mouthwatering finish. Ready in just 40 minutes, this dish pairs beautifully with keto staples like cauliflower rice or a crisp garden salad. Perfect for meal prep or a hearty family meal, this dish combines traditional flavors with wholesome, diet-conscious ingredients to satisfy any craving.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, coconut aminos, erythritol, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne pepper.
Using your hands or a wooden spatula, mix all the ingredients until they are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to let the flavors meld together.
After marinating, form the chicken mixture into small sausages or log shapes, about 4 inches long and 1 inch thick.
Heat the coconut oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken longanisa sausages to the skillet, being careful not to crowd the pan.
Cook the sausages for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Transfer the cooked sausages to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil before serving.
Serve the keto chicken longanisa with your favorite keto-friendly side dishes, like cauliflower rice or a fresh garden salad.
