Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 4 pieces Gluten-free bread buns
• 8 slices Dill pickle chips
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken to about 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 2

Cut each breast into 2 pieces, resulting in a total of 4 pieces. Lightly season them with salt and pepper.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs and whisk with the milk.

Step 5

Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the gluten-free flour mixture. Repeat the process for a crispier texture: dip again in egg and re-coat with the flour mixture.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering hot, about 350°F (180°C).

Step 7

Carefully place the breaded chicken in the hot oil, frying about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Step 8

Remove chicken from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Step 9

Toast the gluten-free buns in the oven or a toaster to warm them.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwich by placing the fried chicken on the bottom half of the bun, followed by pickle slices. Top with the other half of the bun.

Step 11

Serve the sandwiches immediately while warm and crispy.
