Start by flattening the chicken breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap using a meat mallet until they reach an even thickness.
Prepare a mixture of kosher salt, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub the chicken with the spice mixture evenly. Let them sit and marinate for at least 20 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the mini rolls. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and unsweetened almond milk.
Add coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a dough forms.
Shape the dough into 12 small rolls and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the rolls in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden and firm.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken fillets, cooking each side until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.
Remove the cooked chicken and place them on a cutting board to rest for a few minutes.
Slice the cooked chicken into smaller nugget-sized pieces.
Brush the baked rolls with melted butter-flavored coconut oil for that distinctive buttery taste.
For assembly, slice each roll open and insert a piece of chicken nugget. Finish by using a pastry brush to apply melted salted butter over the assembled chicken minis.
Serve warm and enjoy your sugar-free Chick-fil-A style chicken minis!
