Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Dill pickle juice
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil or Avocado oil
- 2 Keto-friendly hamburger buns
- 2 cups Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato, sliced
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create four thinner cutlets.
In a bowl or sealable bag, combine chicken cutlets with the pickle juice. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.
In a shallow dish, mix almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another dish, beat the egg and mix with heavy cream.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Dip each piece of chicken first in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing to adhere the coating.
Heat the coconut or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the chicken pieces in batches if necessary, placing them gently into the hot oil. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, prepare your keto buns by slicing them in half. Toast lightly if desired.
Assemble each sandwich by layering a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half of a bun, topping with lettuce, tomato slices, and then the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Homemade Chick-fil-A Style Chicken Sandwich!
