Ingredients

• 1 pound Skinless, boneless chicken breast
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 cup Skim milk
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 Egg white
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
• 12 Whole wheat dinner rolls
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.

Step 3

In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg white and skim milk.

Step 5

Dip each chicken cube into the milk mixture, then roll in the flour mixture to coat.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through.

Step 8

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over low heat. Add honey and chicken broth, stirring until well combined and slightly thickened.

Step 9

Brush the honey-broth mixture over the tops of the whole wheat dinner rolls.

Step 10

Place a piece of cooked chicken between each roll, sandwiching them together to create a mini sandwich.

Step 11

Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
