Slice the chicken breasts into slider-sized pieces.
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl.
Dip each chicken piece in the beaten eggs, then coat fully in the flour and spice mixture. Repeat for all pieces.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the chicken pieces in the hot oil, cooking for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
While the chicken cooks, peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Arrange sweet potato slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray with coconut oil, and bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
Assemble sliders by placing a chicken piece on a sweet potato slice, add a lettuce leaf, a tomato slice, and a pickle, then top with another sweet potato slice.
Repeat for remaining ingredients and serve immediately.
