Chicken sandwiches are very common at fast-food restaurants. They taste good, but you have to drive there, wait in line, and pay between $4 to $6 for just one sandwich. In this post, I share a better chicken sandwich that only takes literally 3 minutes to make at home. First, let’s take a look at some popular fast-food chicken sandwiches.
KFC’s Chicken Sandwich – $3.99
Popeye’s Chicken Sandwich – $5.99
McDonald’s McChicken – ~$4
McDonald’s McCrispy – ~$5
Burger King’s Royal Crispy Chicken – $8
Chick-fil-A® Chicken Sandwich – $6.59
Note: all of the sandwiches above look good in the marketing pictures, but when you get them, they don’t always look that great.
Now, here’s my recipe for a better and healthier chicken sandwich that only takes 3 minutes to make at home.
Ingredients
- Kirkland (Costco) Signature Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Fillets, 3 lbs (11 fillets) – $`13
- Slice of cheese (optional)
- Keto buns ($4 for 8 buns at Walmart)
- Mayo ($3.50 at Walmart)
Instructions
- Take one of the frozen chicken breast fillets and heat it up in a microwave for 3 minutes
- Optionally, place a slice of cheese on the chicken and melt it in the microwave
- Spread some mayo on both sides of a keto bun
- Place the heated chicken fillet in the bun
- Eat
For a lower-calorie alternative, replace the mayo with Kinder’s Zero Sugar BBQ sauce, which uses no artificial sweetener.
Note that Kirkland frozen chicken breast fillets are
- Fully Cooked
- Have No Antibiotics Ever
- Have No Artificial Ingredients or Preservatives
- Boneless and Skinless
- Have 22g Protein per Serving
If you do the math, one sandwich costs about $2 each.
