Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 240 ml pickle juice
- 120 ml heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 120 g almond flour
- 60 g parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 240 ml coconut oil
- 2 pieces low carb hamburger buns
- 4 slices dill pickle slices
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a large bowl or zip-lock bag, combine pickle juice and chicken breasts. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
In another bowl, whisk together heavy cream and egg to create an egg wash.
In a separate dish, mix almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, gently place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet and fry for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Slice the low carb buns and toast them lightly, if desired.
Assemble each sandwich by placing a fried chicken breast on the bottom half of the bun, followed by two pickle slices, and top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb Chick-fil-A style chicken sandwich!
