Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Pickle juice
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 2 large Egg
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into small nugget-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch in size.
Place the chicken pieces in a bowl with the pickle juice. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute until melted, stirring halfway through.
Add the almond flour, one egg, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small biscuit and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, remove the chicken from the pickle juice and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
In a shallow bowl, beat the remaining egg.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and ground black pepper.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, then coat with any almond flour leftover.
Cook the chicken in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Once the biscuits are done, slice them in half and place a piece of cooked chicken inside each biscuit to form a mini sandwich.
Serve the Keto Chick-fil-A style chicken minis warm as a breakfast or snack option.
