Bacon, Avocado, and Chicken Sandwich

Keto Recipes > Keto Lunch Recipes

Bread is something that most of us miss while on keto. From the simplicity of sandwiches, to the gourmet aspect of adding croutons to your soup – it’s an ingredient that is both versatile and easy to use. Today, we’re going to use Keto Cloud bread to make a delicious and super simple bacon, avocado, and chicken sandwich. It’s a little bit of a play on the classic BLT – made with more fat, more flavor, and the delicious texture you remember!

BaconAvocadoCheeseSandwichSecond

I’ve been a fan of Keto Cloud Bread ever since I did the Strawberry Shortcake recipe with them. They’re simple to make, don’t take too long, and are really versatile to keep around and stick pretty much anything on them. If you plan to make a large batch to save in the fridge or freezer, make sure you keep them neutral in sweetness/savory and leave out any additional ingredients besides the eggs and cream cheese.

Yields 6 servings of Bacon Avocado Sandwich

The Preparation

Keto Cloud Bread:

  • 3 large egg
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Filling:

  • 9 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 6 ounces bacon
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 teaspoons sriracha
  • 6 ounces pepper jack cheese
  • 170 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 6 ounces avocado meat, mashed

The Execution

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Begin separating 3 eggs into to two clean, dry bowls.

Separate eggs

2. Add cream of tartar and salt to the whites. Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites until you see soft, foamy peaks form.

Whip whites

3. In the other bowl, combine 3 oz. of cubed cream cheese with the egg yolks and beat until a pale yellow color.

Beat yolks

4. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolks, half at a time.

Fold in

5. On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, spoon about ¼ cup of the keto cloud bread batter into six rounds. This recipe makes 6 large keto cloud bread.

Spoon onto baking sheet

6. Using a spatula, press gently on tops of the keto cloud bread to form squares. Then sprinkle the tops with garlic powder and bake for about 25 minutes.

Make them square

7. While the keto cloud bread are baking, cook the chicken and bacon with some salt and pepper.

Cook chicken

8. To arrange the sandwiches, begin by combining mayo and sriracha and spread 1/3  onto the underside of three keto cloud breads. Add your chicken on top of the spicy mayo.

Chicken and mayo

9. Add 2 slices of pepper jack cheese, 2 slices bacon, 2 halved grape tomatoes, and spread 2 ounces mashed avocado on top of each sandwich. Season to taste, then top with the remaining keto cloud breads.

  1. Greetings;

    I usually don’t do much posting. I probably should since I do benefit a lot from other’s posts. Anyway, I’m new to the Keto lifestyle. I use to run quite a bit but as my children got older, time was diminishing for exercise. Along with the time constraint came the consumption of processed foods, all kinds of junk a way too much beer:) After several years of yoyo dieting and a weight gain of about 40 pounds, I stumbled on ketosis. I just finished my first week of ketosis and am just now starting to feel better. That first week is tough, especially after a weekend of pumpin beer and take out pizza. I couldn’t figure out what I’d be eating until I stumbled onto this site. I started flipping through the recipes and was very impressed. I had to give this one a try

    My cloud bread didn’t come out in a perfect shape but sure did taste good. The whole sandwich was amazing! This didn’t feel like anything I would eat to loose weight. This tasted like and reminded me of all the bad food (but really good tasting) that got me in this perdicament. This tasted like something I’d buy at a food truck for lunch. It’s was just sooooo good. But after I ate it, no bloat, no tired feeling and no brain fog.

    If this is the kind of stuff I can eat on Keto, this lifestyle will be easy to adopt.

    I highly recommend this one. I’m off to the kitchen now to make a batch of Keto cloud bread:)

    Bob

    • Really happy to hear it Bob. I’m always glad when my recipes help people out – and especially inspire them. I know when I first started keto, it was boring and there wasn’t many ingredients readily available. Small sidebar – take a look into Big Head beer. They’re a pretty newish zero carb beer that’s actually supposed to be pretty good. I wish you the best in your success – and I hope you keep on ketoing on!

  2. Shaylyn Johnson says

    Hi! I can’t wait to try this recipe! I will be trying it in my first week so I am super new to this!!

    Just curious if the “bread” can be stored and how you would store it. It’s just me on this lifestyle and I don’t want to waste food.

    Thanks

    p.s. all of your recipes look SO good! I am so excited to try them!

    • Hello Shaylyn;

      I just made this, again. I made enough bred for 4 sandwiches. I missed a couple days because I was traveling. I’ve had it in the fridge in a tupperware for 5 days now. Still going strong and I still have one more sandwich left.

      I too am the only one on this diet in my house. My wife thinks it’s too much trouble, but then again, she doesn’t like to cook.

      Good luck!

      Bob

  3. Scott Johnston says

    Hi, I’m new to keto eating. I started just a couple of days ago when I stumbled onto this website. I was impressed with the way this sandwich looked and couldn’t wait to try it. I live in Italy, the land of great food, pasta, wine, etc… Today, my daughter and I made the cloud bread and assembled the sandwich. I have to admit I was a little disappointed in the bread because it kind of fell apart (I’m sure I did something wrong) but it tasted great!! We are definitely going to make this again! Thanks for sharing this recipe. It helps to keep keto dieting interesting!

    …..Scott

    • You’re very welcome. When it comes to cloud bread sometimes this can happen if your egg whites aren’t stiff enough of it you don’t cook it long enough. Try getting the egg whites a bit stiffer next time and possibly cooking it longer. The more you make cloud bread, the easier it becomes to gauge it all 🙂

  4. I tried this recipe but for some reason i couldn’t get the egg whites fluffy like that…there was still plenty of liquid…i tried to mix it anyway and it basically came out like a sheet of cooked egg.

    • The mixture is a bit liquidy when you pour them, but almost a custard consistency. Make sure that you fold the egg whites in nice and slow and hopefully next time it will turn out a bit better 🙂

  5. Kirsten Dangler says

    Hi Craig! LOVE your website! I am interested in low carb/no carb bread. I’ve been on atkins for about 3 months and have started losing weight. I miss bread and have fallen off the wagon, set the wagon on fire, and cheered as it rolled down the hill. I have determined to try again. Can you point me in a good direction for low carb bread? I’ve seen a bunch at low carb breads on low carb bakery websites but am leary to buy them.

    • I don’t blame you for being leary to buy the breads from different websites. They knock many people out of ketosis. Unfortunately for bread, there’s never going to be a “great” substitute, though check out the different hamburger buns and mug cakes that I’ve done. They usually make quite a nice replacement for bread (if you leave other seasonings out).

  6. Cata Thielemann says

    Craig, I just made your cloud bread recipe, and I LOVED it.
    I’ve been in keto for a bit over three months, lost about 22 pounds, and started getting bored of what I ate.
    But I started looking at your recipes, and trying and cooking them, and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The whole process is so well explained, the pictures help a lot, and at the end, the results are tasty and gorgeous.
    So thanks again, for the inspiration and the ideas.
    Kisses from Chile

  7. Tammy M Powers says

    My first attempt making cloud bread tonight was a disaster. The eggs never stiffened up. I ended up with a pan of what tested like baked scrambled egg..day 2 of the keto diet, so much to learn.

    • You could try adding cream of tartar to the egg whites, but it may be that the egg whites weren’t whipped enough. Next time you could slightly over-whip to medium peaks.

    • Marshall Jean says

      The eggs have to be room temperature before you make this recipe. I leave my eggs out for ~4-5 hours before making this recipe. And all the equipment you are using to whip the eggs need to be clean and not plastic. Adding the cream of tartar will help too.

  8. Nicole Murphy says

    This is amazing! It turned out perfect! I’m so happy I totally feel like I just ate bread!! So happy thank you for this great recipe!

  9. Ted Hunt says

    (I used my husband’s email) This is a super great recipe! I whipped the egg whites until they had definite peaks, as suggested, and this bread came out super yummy! My son (who is not on a diet) loved it, too! (If you get a bit of the yolk in the egg whites, they won’t whip up. I’ve learned this from making meringue in the past.)

  10. The bread is amazing! I whipped the egg whites until stiff (as suggested) and the bread came out perfect! Thank you! (I’ve been on Atkins and lost 17 pounds in 2 1/2 months. I’ve got 40 to go)

  11. I just found out about the keto diet last night… so I’ve been researching like crazy! I got my BF to agree to try this diet with me, (which is unheard of!!) I’ve lost about 14 lbs eating clean in about a month, but It’s just not really working for me. I’m so overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement now that I’ve found your resources. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your information! With your help I truly believe this lifestyle is manageable. Thank you thank you thank you!
    Before I found this recipe I was coming to terms with the fact that bread would be banished from my life! lol.
    Can I make this in bulk and use it through the week? Or does it need to be made and used same day?

    • I would suggest piecing it together when you want it, otherwise it’ll go soggy. Other than that, you should be fine. Congratulations on the both of you giving keto a try – I hope you guys have a successful journey!

  12. Thanks for the great recipe! I made the bread this morning and it turned out great. I will make the rest of the recipe for lunch. 🙂

  13. Patrick Noiseux says

    Craig, I tried the cloud bread and didn’t have a very good result. Perhaps the egg whites weren’t stiff enough. I live at altitude and that affects baking as well. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    • It’s possible the altitude affected the baking, but I’m not 100% sure. I have only had minimal experience when I visited Denver, so it’s hard for me to say. I did read some Facebook posts ~1 year ago with some baking experiments, but can’t find it. Try to bring your egg whites more stiff next time to see if it helps.

  14. Marshall Jean says

    I make this recipe every other week. Sandwiches are so delicious now and I don’t miss the bread anymore!! I slather a bunch of chipotle mayo on the keto cloud bread and put shredded pepper jack cheese on it, turkey bacon, and chicken. It is so delicious! Thank you for this recipe!!! I have already lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks of being strictly keto.
    TIP: For those of you who might have a problem getting the egg whites to become stiff. Make sure you use a clean glass bowl (plastic holds grease which prevents the egg whites from getting stiff). And make sure you eggs are at room temperature. I leave the eggs out for ~4 hours before making this recipe.

  15. Natalia Duque says

    Thanks for the amazing website!!! You really rock. I have a question. Can I use baking powder instead of cream of tartar in this recipe? I can’t find it where I leave 🙁

    • Cream of Tar Tar will help stabilize the egg whites, so it’s a good ingredient to have. It should be near all of the baking powder/soda, or in the spice isle if they’re in 2 different locations.

  16. Allison Hawthorne says

    Holy crap….I’ve been keto for almost two months and had figured bread was out for me, and that no alternative would be similar enough/worth the trouble. I made this sandwich, picked it up, took a bite and almost squealed. Then I finished eating and obsessively searched here for recipes for almost two hours. You, kind sir, are a genius. Don’t mind me while I live on this site for the rest of time.

  17. My breads were a bit of a flat puddle but they baked up ok and the filling was really nice. Thanks for sharing the recipe

  18. In step 4, you’re folding in the beated egg whites to the beated yolk mixture.

  19. I am type I diabetic and rather than cover with insulin for carbs, I’ve decided I feel better avoiding grains and don’t require as much insulin (which is a growth hormone naturally), which helps me lose weight and will assist me in maintaining a healthy weight once I lose the last 26lbs I have to go until I reach my goal weight. Thanks for this! I love breads and giving them up has been hard. This has made it easier to enjoy sandwiches with my family. Do you know how well these freeze? I was thinking of making extra so I don’t have to bake so often during the week.

    • Hi Laurie, I haven’t personally tried to freeze the breads but I have heard that lots of people do this in order to save time. Please let me know how well it turns out if you try it before I do. 🙂

  20. Just made this recipe! Delicious! Two things I learned on a first attempt – room temperature might help, and perhaps more cream of tartar. My first batch of egg whites came out very, very liquidy

  21. I’ve just tried your recipe tonight and it’s good so much better than the flat bread I have. I can’t wait to put a hamburger on it. Thanks so much!

  22. The breads basically turned to mush the instant I put the filling on them. Are they supposed to cool, or be baked for longer? They did not look anything like those you have pictured.

    Thank you,
    Josh

  23. Awesome Recipe Craig! Is there any way to save the bread if I wanted to make a lot at once? I was thinking instead of doing it in circles I’d fill the whole pan like I’m making brownies then cut. Have you tried storing it yet?

    • You could try with a whoopie pie pan. They will give you a decent size circle to make some sandwiches on. I’m not sure how well it’d do in the fridge (I could see them getting soggy), but if you do store them I’d suggest parchment or some type of barrier between each layer. Heat in a pan instead of the oven.

  24. Looks great! I’ll try this one soon. Little fyi, you have a small typo in your #2. You put cream “fo” tartar. Sorry, can’t help myself!

  25. Shelly McGrew says

    This looks awesome and I am going to make it for dinner. However, I need you to clear up a couple things in your recipe please. You said the recipe makes 6 clouds but then lower down you said it makes 2 sandwiches. Are there 2 clouds leftover? Also, you said in the nutrition part “each half”, do you mean each sandwich? Just one more question. Once the clouds come out of the oven do they cool on the parchment or a rack? Thank you!

    • Hi Shelly, I asked Craig about it and he said that it’s two sandwiches. The serving is for half a sandwich, so there will be 2 clouds leftover. (If you double the fillings then you could just make both of course.) I will update the nutrition table today so that it makes more sense! They can be cooled either way.

      • Shelly McGrew says

        Thank you for updating. I ended up having two halves thinking it was one serving so I won’t do that next time I make these, and I will make them again. They were excellent! The only thing I personally would like better, I think, is omitting the garlic on the cloud. Even my husband loved these and he’s not doing the Keto diet. Thanks again Laura!

  26. Patrick Andre Burden says

    My cloud bread mixture never seems to be thick enough and will not rise. Do you know what I might have done wrong?

    • I don’t think you did anything wrong, I have trouble with cloud bread for some reason as well. Most recipes (including this one) say to whip to soft peaks, but personally I have to go a little stiffer. I think maybe I have too heavy of a hand when I fold the two together.

  27. Les KathyAnn says

    Has anyone tried this at high altitude? I do plan to try it, so guess I’ll see how this works. 🙂 Looks good!

  28. George Enciu says

    Tasty and nourishing recipe over here, but I never seem to get the cloud breads to be as thick as in the presentation above. Is there a secret to that?

    https://uploads.disquscdn.chttps://uploads.disquscdn.chttps://uploads.disquscdn.c

  29. Denise Saja Duncan says

    There’s no bacon listed in the recipe. The stro-by-step with photos says “cook chicken with bacon”, yet the picture appears to show whole bacon pieces. Can you direct me on the bacon part? These look delicious! and I’m wanting to try them fir dinner tonight.

  30. How long can these stay in the fridge for?

    • I wouldn’t leave it for more than a day or so. If you’re going to store it, I’d store it all separately, and then it could go for a few days in the fridge. If you layer it and then store it, it will likely get pretty soggy pretty quickly.
