Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground chicken
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 medium Jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 whole leaves Butter lettuce leaves (for wraps)
- 1 medium Avocado, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, egg, finely chopped jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties roughly 1/2-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Cook the chicken patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 75°C or 165°F).
While the patties are cooking, prepare the spicy mayonnaise by mixing the sugar-free hot sauce and mayonnaise in a small bowl.
To assemble, lay two butter lettuce leaves on a plate to serve as the 'bun.' Place a cooked chicken patty on top, add a slice or two of avocado, and drizzle with the spicy mayonnaise.
Top with two more butter lettuce leaves to complete the burger. Repeat for the remaining patties.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto spicy chicken burger!
