Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup dill pickle juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 leaves leaf lettuce
• 1 large tomato
• 2 pieces low-carb sandwich buns
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons stevia sweetener

Directions

Step 1

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound the thicker parts of each breast to create an even thickness, ensuring both pieces are approximately the same thickness for even cooking.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine dill pickle juice and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are completely submerged in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 4

While the grill is heating, remove chicken breasts from the marinade, pat them dry with paper towels, and discard the marinade.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Step 6

Grill the chicken for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and there are nice grill marks on the surface.

Step 7

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the sauce by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and stevia sweetener in a bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 8

Slice the tomato into thick rounds and rinse the lettuce leaves under cold water. Pat the lettuce dry with a clean towel or kitchen paper.

Step 9

Once chicken is cooked, remove from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before assembling the sandwiches.

Step 10

To assemble, first, toast the low-carb sandwich buns lightly on the grill for a subtle crunch.

Step 11

Spread the mayonnaise-mustard sauce generously on both the top and bottom halves of the toasted buns.

Step 12

Layer with grilled chicken, 2 leaves of lettuce, and slices of tomato on each bottom half of the buns.

Step 13

Finish with the top half of the buns and serve immediately for a delicious low-carb Chick-fil-A style grilled chicken sandwich.
