- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and the egg. Mix until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, and finely chopped onion to create the Big Mac sauce.
Once the patties are done, top each one with a slice of cheddar cheese and allow it to melt slightly.
Assemble the Low Carb Chicken Big Mac by layering: one lettuce leaf, a chicken patty with melted cheese, a tablespoon of Big Mac sauce, 2 slices of pickles, and a second lettuce leaf on top.
Repeat the assembly process for each serving and enjoy your low carb creation immediately.
