Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup pickle juice
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 pieces Whole30-approved buns or lettuce wraps
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Whole30-approved mayonnaise
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and pound to an even thickness, approximately 1/2 inch thick, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a large bowl, combine pickle juice, coconut aminos, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before assembling the sandwich.
To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon of Whole30-approved mayonnaise on each bun or lettuce wrap.
Place a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun or wrap, followed by slices of tomato and lettuce leaves.
Top with the other half of the bun or wrap and serve immediately. Enjoy your Whole30 Chick-fil-A Style Grilled Chicken Sandwich!
