Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup avocado oil (for frying)
- 3 tablespoons keto-friendly hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 units keto-friendly hamburger buns
- 4 slices pickle slices
- 2 leaves lettuce (optional)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet and fry for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
In a small bowl, mix the keto-friendly hot sauce and melted butter to create the spicy sauce, then brush it generously over the fried chicken breasts.
Lightly toast the keto-friendly hamburger buns in a dry skillet or toaster.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering each bottom bun with lettuce (if using), a spicy chicken breast, pickle slices, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Spicy Hot Chicken Sandwich!
