Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture over the chicken breasts ensuring they are evenly coated.
Drizzle the chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
To make the bagel-inspired buns, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk 2 eggs until frothy. Add the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each into a ball and gently flatten to form a bagel shape, creating a small hole in the middle if desired.
Place bagels onto the lined baking sheet. Brush the tops with whisked egg and sprinkle with black and white sesame seeds.
Bake the bagels for approximately 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
While the bagels are baking, grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Slice the avocado and tomato thinly.
To assemble the sandwich, slice open the bagel buns, add a lettuce leaf, slices of tomato, grilled chicken, and avocado.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the bagel bun and serve immediately.
