Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup pickle juice
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
- 1 leaf romaine lettuce
- 4 pieces dill pickle slices
- 2 buns paleo sandwich buns
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness with a meat mallet.
Marinate the chicken in pickle juice for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk the egg and coconut milk together.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once hot, fry the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove chicken from skillet and let it rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
Assemble each sandwich: Place a fried chicken breast on the bottom half of a paleo bun, top with lettuce, pickles, and finish with the top bun.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Paleo Chick-fil-A Style Chicken Sandwich!
