If you love Chick-Fil-A, you are going to love these crispy, juicy sandwiches!

One of my guilty pleasures is Chick-Fil-A. We don’t go there that often because with two kids it can be a little pricey. We actually went just the other day and used some coupons I got in the mail for a free salad and shake. We paid $5 but if we didn’t have the coupons it would have cost $16. I’ve really been trying to cut eating out out of our budget. Of course, occasionally it’s OK, but I want occasionally to be once a month not once every two weeks.

My solution for this is making my favorite take out recipes at home! You may remember my Better Than Takeout Sesame Chicken from a few months ago, or one of my very first posts (and still to this day my boys’ favorite treat) Copy Cat Sonic Slush; making my family’s favorite treats at home is a win-win for me. One, I don’t have to spend eating out. Two, eating out with 2 kids under the age of three is a joke. And three, most of the time my version is healthier; most of the time.

The inspiration for this meal came from my husband saying how much he loved Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. He does so much for our family and never asks for anything in return so I like to surprise him with little things to let him know I do appreciate what he does for us. I found this recipe from Raining Hot Coupons a few months back and have finally tweeked it to my families liking. So if you love Chick-Fil-A like we do, give this sandwich a try; you’ll be happy you did.

Prep Time 2

Cook Time 15

Total Time 2 15

Servings

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup dill pickle juice
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 cup flour
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
pinch of garlic salt
oil for frying
Buns
Pickle slices for garnish

Instructions

Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise and width wise so you have 8 pieces of chicken.
Marinate chicken in pickle juice in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
In a small bowl whisk together eggs and milk.
In a second bowl combine flour and spices.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
Dip chicken into egg/milk mix and then into flour mix (make sure both sides are fully covered in flour).
Cook in pan for 5 minutes and then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Let cool on a paper towel lined plate.
Serve on buns with pickles.

Notes

Be very careful when flipping chicken in oil. I use our BBQ tongs so I can stay away from the popping oil.
The original recipe calls to only let the chicken cook for 2 minutes per side but every time I have made these they need at least 5 minutes per side.
