Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup pickle juice
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 pieces Whole30-approved buns or lettuce wraps
• 1 medium tomato, sliced
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons Whole30-approved mayonnaise

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and pound to an even thickness, approximately 1/2 inch thick, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine pickle juice, coconut aminos, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before assembling the sandwich.

Step 7

To assemble, spread 1 tablespoon of Whole30-approved mayonnaise on each bun or lettuce wrap.

Step 8

Place a grilled chicken breast on the bottom half of each bun or wrap, followed by slices of tomato and lettuce leaves.

Step 9

Top with the other half of the bun or wrap and serve immediately. Enjoy your Whole30 Chick-fil-A Style Grilled Chicken Sandwich!
