Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Chicken breast
- 1 cup Pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Ghee
- 0.25 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Ghee, melted
Instructions
Slice the chicken breasts into nugget-sized pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pickle juice and coconut aminos. Add the chicken pieces, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, coconut flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut milk, and ghee.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined and a dough forms.
Using a tablespoon, scoop dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping them into small biscuit shapes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are slightly golden and cooked through.
As the biscuits bake, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a skillet over medium heat.
Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and golden brown.
Once the biscuits and chicken are done, assemble the minis by placing a piece of cooked chicken between two biscuit halves.
Brush the tops with melted ghee for a buttery finish.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 compliant Chick-fil-A style Chicken Minis!
