Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Dill pickle juice
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Monk fruit sweetener or honey
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Whole wheat hamburger buns
- 2 Large lettuce leaves
- 2 slices Sliced tomato
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine pickle juice, soy sauce, monk fruit sweetener, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or set a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.
Brush the chicken with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through with nice grill marks.
While the chicken is grilling, toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a grilled chicken breast, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein Chick-fil-A style grilled chicken sandwiches!
