Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 120 ml Buttermilk
- 60 ml Pickle juice
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 60 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Egg
- 60 ml Coconut oil
- 8 pieces Keto-friendly mini rolls
- 4 tablespoons Honey butter
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces suitable for mini sandwiches.
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk and pickle juice. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the mixture. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Prepare the coating by mixing almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
In another bowl, beat the egg lightly.
Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten egg, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, ensuring a thorough coat.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken pieces and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the chicken pieces from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly butter the mini rolls with the honey butter.
Assemble the minis by placing the cooked chicken pieces inside the keto-friendly mini rolls.
Place the assembled chicken minis on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the rolls are warm and slightly crispy.
Serve immediately, enjoying the homemade low-carb version of Chick-fil-A's chicken minis.
