Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup dill pickle juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
• 4 hamburger buns
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 8 slices dill pickles, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade for the chicken. In a bowl, combine dill pickle juice, olive oil, honey, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a ziplock bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely browned.

Step 5

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the sandwich toppings. In a small bowl, combine vegan mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Stir until smooth.

Step 6

Cut the hamburger buns in half and lightly toast them on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 7

Assemble the sandwiches by spreading a layer of the mayonnaise-Dijon sauce on the bottom half of each bun. Add a grilled chicken breast, followed by a lettuce leaf, a slice of tomato, and individual pickle slices.

Step 8

Place the top half of the bun on the sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Dairy-Free Chick-fil-A Style Grilled Chicken Sandwich!
