Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground chicken
- 30 g Almond flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 4 large Tomato slices
- 8 thin Avocado slices
- 4 slices Jalapeño slices (optional)
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Hot sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, almond flour, egg, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Divide the chicken mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 1-inch thick.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Cook the chicken patties for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). Add the second tablespoon of olive oil if needed for cooking the remaining patties.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the spicy mayo by mixing the mayonnaise and hot sauce in a small bowl. Adjust the hot sauce quantity to your spice preference.
To assemble the burgers, place a large lettuce leaf on a plate as the base. Add a cooked chicken patty on top of the lettuce.
Layer the burger with 1 tomato slice, 2 avocado slices, and 1 jalapeño slice (if using). Spread a dollop of spicy mayo on top.
Cover the assembled burger with another lettuce leaf to complete the bunless burger. Repeat the process for the remaining patties.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb spicy chicken burgers!
