Keto Chicken Burger and Bread Roll
Paleo and Keto Friendly
These chicken burgers with the bread rolls are gluten free, dairy free, soy free and low carb. They are paleo and keto diet friendly.
What’s the first thing that comes to my mind about a burger? Fast food and street kitchen. We all know the big fast-food chains. We visited these places a lot 15 years ago, but I know it was a big mistake. They sell salads and put vegetables into the burgers, and you would think easily that food is healthy. But it is not true. When you make food at home, you know exactly all ingredients. I do not use wheat flour, soy and preservatives what are very common components in fast foods.
You can make breakfast or prepare a lunch box really fast, if you bake the buns in advance.
Keto Bread Rolls
The ingredients of these rolls are almond flour, psyllium husk powder, egg whites, baking powder, salt and water. In addition to being delicious, it contains very small amount of carbs, just 4 grams in a bun.
I do not like the eggy taste in bread and rolls, and I needed a salty, delicious roll which can be a good base for my paleo sandwich. These turned out great. Use my other paleo roll recipe if you have egg allergy and follow egg-free diet.
Homemade Chicken Patties
This chicken burger is very easy to make. I use organic minced chicken in this recipe. Ask your butcher if you don’t want to mince meat at home, or you do not have equipment for that. It is the best from mixed chicken meat.
I add smoked paprika and dried Provencal herbs in it, which makes these patties very delicious.
It’s not necessary to add breadcrumbs to the meat to help binding like in other recipes. This is a keto and paleo burger. Don’t worry, patties will not fall apart. They will be very pretty.

Add 3 rings of red onion and melted cheese, 1 slice of fresh tomato and salad leaves again, then place the cap of the rolls on the top. The chicken burger is ready! Enjoy!
I was looking for good low carb bread/bun recipe. This recipe works! I tried a very similar recipe that turned out flat and wet, and I had the same expectations for this recipe. But they were wrong! I haven’t tried the chicken burgers yet, but I probably will in the future.
Dear Leah, thank you very much for your great feedback! I’m so glad you’re enjoying this bread roll recipe and I hope you’ll keep me posted on when you’re making the chicken burger or other recipe.
