Keto Chicken and Waffle Sandwiches

Keto Recipes > Keto Breakfast Recipes

These low-carb chicken and waffle bites are absolute eye candy. We fry up some breaded chicken strips then serve them up with impossibly fluffy Belgian style waffles. Then we stacked the sandwiches with mustard, bacon, pickles and even a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup! Serve these for brunch on a special occasion, and you won’t soon forget it.

If you want to make these ahead of time, just store the waffles and chicken strips separately.  Then you can stack the sandwiches at your leisure.  The waffles also freeze well!

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Ingredients List
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg then set the bowl aside. In a separate bowl mix the almond flour, plus some salt and pepper together. Coat each piece of chicken in the egg, then the almond flour. Coat each piece in the egg, and then the almond flour again so that there are two layers of breading.

4. Preheat some olive oil in a skillet, then quickly cook both sides of each chicken strip so that the outside browns. Place each piece of chicken on a baking sheet then cover with foil. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes or until cooked through.

5. Preheat your waffle maker. Whisk the egg yolks, milk, erythritol, melted butter, and vanilla together in a mixing bowl. Whisk in the almond flour and salt until no lumps are remaining.

6. Beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until they form stiff peaks. Carefully fold the eggs into the waffle batter, adding half at a time.

7. Grease the waffle maker, then add 1/3 cup portions of the batter and cook each waffle for 5-6 minutes or until browned.
