Ingredients
- 2 large (about 1 lb) chicken breasts
- 1 cup pickle juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces lettuce leaves
Directions
Step 1
Cut each chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces suitable for mini sandwiches.
Step 2
Place the chicken pieces in a shallow dish and pour the pickle juice over them, ensuring they are fully submerged. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 6 hours for best results.
Step 3
After marinating, remove the chicken pieces from the pickle juice and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 4
In a shallow dish, combine the coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to mix well.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 6
Dredge each piece of chicken in the coconut flour mixture, coating all sides, and then place into the hot skillet.
Step 7
Cook the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the chicken bites from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 9
To serve, place each piece of chicken on a lettuce leaf to form a mini wrap.
Step 10
Enjoy these Whole30 compliant Chicken Minis as a tasty and healthy meal or snack.
