Keto Chicken Sandwich Recipe with Toasted Italian Grain-Free Bread [Paleo, Keto]
While this keto chicken sandwich recipe requires a few more steps, it’s still remarkably easy to make and you could be eating your sandwich in just 30 minutes or less (if you cook fast).
By cutting the chicken breast into thin pieces, it cooks much faster. And by coating the chicken pieces with garlic powder and paprika, the chicken as well as the grain-free bread has tons of flavor. (And the chicken slices are kept moist by coating it with an egg mixture.)
If you love chicken as much as I do, then you’ll want to feast your eyes on our list of tasty keto chicken recipes.
The Italian grain-free bread recipe is based on the Microwave Paleo Bread recipe, but I’ve added in some flavorful herbs like Italian seasoning and garlic powder to imbue the bread with more flavor. After the bread is cooked (which takes 5 minutes), it’s sliced and then toasted in the oven to give it a crisp exterior. If you’re in a hurry, then you don’t need to toast the bread before serving the sandwich.
Keto Chicken Sandwich Recipe
Step 1:
Make the bread by placing all the ingredients into a microwaveable mug.
Step 2:
Mix all the ingredients in the mug well.
Step 3:
Place the mug into the microwave and microwave on high for 90 seconds. The bread will rise when it’s cooking in the microwave so make sure you use a big enough mug. The bread will look like the photo below when it’s cooked.
Step 4:
Let the bread cool for a few minutes and then pop it out of the mug and slice into 4 slices. Preheat the oven to 400F (205 C). Place the 4 slices of bread on a baking tray and toast for 4 minutes.
Step 5:
Cut up the chicken breast so that it forms thin pieces and are approximately the size of your mug (so that the chicken pieces will fit into the bread well).
Step 6:
In a bowl, mix together the ingredients to coat the chicken pieces with (the egg, garlic powder, paprika, and salt and pepper).
Step 7:
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture and then place into a frying pan with avocado oil or olive oil.
Step 8:
Cook the chicken pieces until they’re fully cooked.
Step 9:
Put the sandwiches together with some mustard, Paleo mayo, and romaine lettuce leaves.

- Let the bread cool for a few minutes and then pop out of the mug and slice into 4 slices.
