Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 large eggs
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.25 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs and place almond flour in a separate dish.
Dip each chicken breast in the egg wash, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
Dredge the egg-coated chicken breasts in almond flour, pressing lightly so it adheres to the chicken.
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add hot sauce, stirring to combine.
Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (73°C).
Remove chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Slice the tomato into thin slices.
Assemble the sandwiches: place one chicken breast on top of two stacked lettuce leaves, add tomato slices, and drizzle with ranch dressing. Cover with another two stacked lettuce leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb buffalo chicken sandwich!
