Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 0.5 cup dill pickle juice
• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons honey (optional for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Start by cubing the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Marinate the chicken in dill pickle juice for at least 20 minutes, preferably for a couple of hours, in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and set aside for later use.

Step 5

In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the melted cocoa butter. Add the cream cheese and whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the almond flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

Step 7

Use a tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small biscuit shapes. Aim for about 12 biscuits.

Step 8

Bake biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden. Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 9

While the biscuits are baking, remove the chicken from its marinade. Pat dry with paper towels.

Step 10

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.

Step 11

If desired, to mimic the Chick-fil-A signature taste, brush each biscuit with a little melted butter and honey.

Step 12

Split the cooled biscuits in half and place a piece of the cooked chicken in each. Secure with a toothpick if needed.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb Chicken Minis!
