Ingredients

• 2 whole Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Pickle juice
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 4 store-bought or homemade Non-dairy biscuits
• 0 for frying Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally, creating four thin cutlets.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine pickle juice and almond milk. Add apple cider vinegar to the mixture to create a buttermilk substitute, and stir well.

Step 3

Submerge the chicken cutlets in the milk mixture, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for more flavor.

Step 4

In another bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Ensure each piece is evenly covered.

Step 6

In a deep skillet, heat about 1 to 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Fry the chicken cutlets in batches, avoiding overcrowding the skillet. Cook each cutlet for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken is frying, heat the non-dairy biscuits according to package instructions or recipe.

Step 9

Once the chicken is done, let it drain on a wire rack or paper towel to remove excess oil.

Step 10

Assemble the biscuit by placing a fried chicken cutlet between the two halves of a warm biscuit. Repeat for all servings.

Step 11

Serve immediately while the biscuits and chicken are hot, and enjoy your dairy-free Chick-fil-A style chicken biscuit!
