Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup peri peri sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 sliced avocado
- 2 pieces keto-friendly sandwich buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 sliced tomato
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken breasts. In a bowl, mix together the peri peri sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and let it sit for a minimum of 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to an hour for enhanced flavor.
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated chicken breasts onto the grill.
Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sandwich components. Toast the keto-friendly buns lightly in a skillet or toaster.
Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on the inside of each bun. Place the lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each bun.
Layer sliced tomatoes and avocado slices over the lettuce.
Once the chicken is cooked, slice it and evenly distribute the slices over the avocado and tomato.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
Enjoy your delicious Keto Peri Peri Chicken Sandwich!
