Spicy Buffalo Chicken Chaffle Sandwiches
If you have been on the Keto diet for more than a week, you have likely heard the whispers of the legendary 'Chaffle'—a cheese waffle that has completely revolutionized low-carb bread replacements. But today, we aren't just making a side dish; we are building a main event. This Spicy Buffalo Chicken Chaffle Sandwich is the ultimate lunch for anyone missing the satisfying crunch of a deli sandwich without the carb coma. By using a base of mozzarella and egg, we create a crispy, savory waffle that holds up perfectly against the saucy, spicy buffalo chicken filling. Not only is this meal incredibly satiating due to the high protein content, but the capsaicin in the buffalo sauce gives your metabolism a nice little kick. It is messy, it is cheesy, and it clocks in at just 3g net carbs per sandwich. Say goodbye to sad lettuce wraps and hello to your new favorite spicy obsession.
The Masterplan
Preheat your mini waffle iron. If you are using a standard size Belgian waffle maker, this recipe will make 2 large waffles instead of 4 mini ones.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and garlic powder until smooth. Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle a tiny pinch of extra cheese directly onto the hot waffle iron grate (this creates an extra crispy crust). Spoon half of the batter (if using mini iron, use 1/4 of batter) onto the iron. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until you have 4 chaffles.
While the chaffles are cooling (cooling them on a wire rack is crucial for crispiness!), prepare the filling. In a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, melted butter, and softened cream cheese. Heat until the mixture is warm and combined.
To assemble, place one chaffle on a plate. Top generously with the buffalo chicken mixture.
Drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Top with a second chaffle to close the sandwich. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.
