🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + vinegar

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Pound the chicken breasts in a resealable bag to an even thickness.

2

Prepare the pickle marinade by diluting pickle juice with water and covering the chicken in it.

3

Refrigerate the chicken in the pickle marinade for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

4

In a bowl, combine milk and a couple of eggs and beat them together for the wet mixture.

5

In another bowl, mix flour, powdered sugar, paprika, garlic powder, basil leaves, sea salt, regular salt, white pepper, and cayenne pepper for the dry mixture.

6

Take the marinated chicken out of the pickle juice, dip it in the egg and milk mixture, then coat it in the dry mixture, pressing down to ensure it sticks.

7

Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the coated chicken until golden brown and cooked through.

8

For the chick-fil-a sauce, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce, honey, and lemon juice together until well combined.

9

Toast the burger buns and assemble the sandwich with the fried chicken, pickles, and chick-fil-a sauce.
