Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Dill pickle juice
- 0.5 cup Low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup Milk
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Canola oil
- 12 pieces Low sodium slider rolls or small dinner rolls
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken breasts into approximately 2-inch pieces to form nuggets.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the dill pickle juice and low sodium chicken broth. Add the chicken pieces and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the egg and milk until well combined. In a separate dish, mix the flour, paprika, ground black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Drain the chicken from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Dip each piece of chicken into the milk and egg mixture, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure they are well coated.
Step 6
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 8
While the chicken is frying, prepare the honey butter by melting the unsalted butter and mixing in the honey until smooth.
Step 9
Place the slider rolls on a baking sheet, brush the tops generously with the honey butter, and place them in the oven for about 5 minutes or until they are warm.
Step 10
To assemble the Chicken Minis, place a piece of chicken inside each roll and brush with additional honey butter if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium Chick-fil-A Chicken Minis!
