Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup Dill pickle juice
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Monk fruit sweetener or honey
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Whole wheat hamburger buns
• 2 Large lettuce leaves
• 2 slices Sliced tomato

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine pickle juice, soy sauce, monk fruit sweetener, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or set a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the marinade.

Step 5

Brush the chicken with olive oil on both sides to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Grill the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is cooked through with nice grill marks.

Step 7

While the chicken is grilling, toast the hamburger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster until golden.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwiches by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, followed by a grilled chicken breast, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your high-protein Chick-fil-A style grilled chicken sandwiches!
