Low carb BLT without the bread
Ingredients
- chicken breast
- bacon
- lettuce
- tomato
- mayo
Directions
1
Cook chicken breast 15-20 minutes or until cooked through. Cook bacon to desired crispiness.
2
Let cool slightly. Cut the chicken in half lengthwise, but not all the way through. Leave the chicken slightly connected like the two sides of a hot dog bun.
3
Spread mayo over chicken breast.
4
Slice the tomato, then cut the slices in half. Layer over chicken breast.
5
Top with bacon, and finally, lettuce. Close the 'bun' and enjoy!
Extra tips for how to make this Chicken BLT:
- For the best ‘buns’, try to use nice, thick chicken breasts – not thinly sliced or strips. This will make it easiest to cut into the buns.
- Let the chicken cool before cutting into buns.
- If meal prepping or making ahead for lunches, don’t add mayo until ready to serve. Wondering about my cute platypus knife? Shop this one and even more fun kitchen gadgets HERE!

I was a little skeptical at first, but I can’t believe how tasty and fresh this BLT chicken turned out! I must have made it look so appetizing that even my 5yo wanted to taste it – and then he couldn’t stop taking bites! 😂
Plus, I think this recipe could be so great for picnics and is perfect for busy weeknights. You could even make a few chicken breast ‘buns’ and stash them in the fridge to add different sandwich toppings for every meal of the week!
