Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
• 1 cup Dill pickle juice
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0 Olive oil spray
• 4 Whole wheat hamburger buns
• 4 leaves Leaf lettuce
• 4 slices Tomato, sliced
• 8 slices Dill pickle slices

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine low-fat buttermilk and dill pickle juice. Place the chicken breasts in the mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to marinate, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.

Step 4

Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and allow any excess liquid to drip off.

Step 5

Coat each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, pressing it into the chicken to ensure a good coating.

Step 6

Generously spray both sides of the coated chicken with olive oil spray, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the whole wheat hamburger buns in a toaster or oven.

Step 9

Assemble each sandwich by placing a cooked chicken breast on each bun, add a leaf of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and two dill pickle slices.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade low-fat Chick-fil-A style chicken sandwich!
