Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1/4 cup chipotle mayo
- Lettuce leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 chicken breasts, 1 avocado, 4 slices of bacon, 1/4 cup of chipotle mayo, lettuce leaves, salt, and pepper.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add a little oil to prevent sticking.
- While the grill is heating, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides to taste.
- Once the grill or skillet is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, in a separate pan, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. This will help keep it juicy.
- While the chicken is resting, slice the avocado into thin slices.
- To assemble the BLT, start with a large lettuce leaf as the base. Place a cooked chicken breast on top of the lettuce.
- Next, add 2 slices of crispy bacon on top of the chicken.
- Add the sliced avocado on top of the bacon.
- Finally, drizzle or spread the chipotle mayo over the avocado and top with another lettuce leaf to complete the sandwich.
- Repeat the assembly for the second serving.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Chipotle Chicken Avocado BLT!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken reaches exactly 165°F (75°C) for perfect doneness without drying out.
- Bacon Brilliance: For extra crispy bacon, try using the oven method - lay bacon on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes.
- Avocado Hack: To prevent browning, slice the avocado just before serving and sprinkle with a little lemon juice.
- Mayo Matters: For an extra flavor boost, try making your own chipotle mayo by mixing mayo with chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
- Low-Carb Wrap Alternative: If you want to reduce carbs even further, skip the lettuce wrap and use large lettuce leaves as your "bread" for a truly keto-friendly option.
- Meal Prep Tip: You can grill the chicken and cook the bacon in advance, making this a quick assembly meal during busy weekdays.
