High Protein Chicken Bacon and Egg Breakfast Sandwich (Low Carb)

By Toya. L

This high-protein chicken, bacon, and egg breakfast sandwich is made with homemade cottage cheese bread and layered with juicy chicken, crispy bacon, and a perfectly fried egg. It’s filling, flavorful, cheesy, and honestly so delicious you’d never guess it’s low carb.

Gone are the days when a cup of coffee can carry me until lunch. These days, if I don’t start my morning with something that actually fuels me, I feel it. I will feel low energy, hunger creeping in, and that mid-morning “what can I snack on?” spiral.

That’s how this high-protein chicken, bacon, and fried egg sandwich became a regular in my kitchen.

It started as one of those “use what I have on hand” mornings. I had some cottage cheese, some chicken breast in the fridge, a couple strips of bacon left, and eggs, always eggs. I wanted something filling but not heavy, satisfying but still aligned with how I’m trying to eat right now. More protein, fewer carbs, and food that actually tastes good.

What I love most is how balanced it feels. It keeps me full for hours, gives me steady energy, and doesn’t leave me feeling sluggish. It’s the kind of breakfast that works whether I’m heading into a busy workday, squeezing in a workout, or just trying to keep up with life.

Tips for High Protein Chicken, Bacon, and Egg Breakfast:

• You don’t have to blend the cottage cheese — leaving it natural works perfectly
• Butterfly the chicken breast for even cooking and extra juiciness
• Don’t overcook the chicken — 8–10 minutes in the air fryer keeps it tender
• Fry the egg to your preference — runny yolk adds extra richness
• Assemble while warm so everything melts together perfectly

Flavor Variations:

• Spicy – Add cayenne or red pepper flakes to the chicken and a drizzle of hot sauce
• Cheesy – Add a slice of cheddar or pepper jack between the chicken and egg
• Herb & Garlic – Mix dried herbs or extra garlic powder into the cottage cheese bread
• Savory Breakfast – Add a spoon of cream cheese or mayo to the bread before assembling
• Avocado – Layer sliced avocado or a smear of avocado mash for extra richness

Storing, freezing, thawing, and reheating instructions:

• Storing: Keep assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For best texture, store the bread and cooked chicken separately from the egg and bacon if possible.
• Freezing: Wrap unassembled sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or foil. Freeze for up to 1 month.
• Thawing: Move from freezer to fridge overnight. For quicker thawing, unwrap and let sit at room temperature for 30–60 minutes.
• Reheating: Oven: 350°F for 8–10 minutes, or until warmed through. Air fryer: 350°F for 3–5 minutes. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the bread from getting soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Can I use regular bread instead of cottage cheese bread? Yes, you can swap in your favorite low-carb or regular bread, but the sandwich will be slightly higher in carbs.
• Do I have to blend the cottage cheese? No! Leaving the cottage cheese natural works perfectly and adds a nice texture to the bread.
• Can I meal prep these sandwiches? Absolutely! Store the components separately (bread, chicken, egg, bacon) in the fridge for up to 2 days and assemble when ready.
• Can I freeze the sandwiches? Yes, wrap unassembled sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or foil and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating
• Can I cook the chicken in the oven instead of the air fryer? Yes! Bake at 375°F for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway, until done.
