Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, parmesan cheese, and egg. Use your hands or a spatula to mix until fully combined.
Add in the garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the chicken mixture.
Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a bun shape about 3/4 inch thick, placing it onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of each chicken bun with olive oil to help them brown during baking.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each bun as a garnish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are cooked through and have a golden brown color.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before using them as you would any buns for your sandwiches or burgers.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
