My kids love a Chic-fil-A fried chicken sandwich, but for obvious reasons, I am not a fan. Recently, my husband cracked the code! What follows is his recipe for a healthier fried chicken sandwich.

Obviously this is still a fried food, so I am not going to claim it’s truly healthful. But we use all organic ingredients and cook the chicken in avocado oil.

Healthier Fried Chicken Sandwich Ingredients

• 1 cup organic flour
• 3 tbsp organic powdered sugar
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp organic baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp cayenne
• 2 organic chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally
• organic eggs
• avocado oil
• Brioche buns

Cooking Instructions

1. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness, 1/4-1/2 inches thick.
2. Use eggs to create an egg wash in a bowl.
3. Combine all dry ingredients to create a flour mix in a bowl.
4. Dip chicken breasts into egg wash, then into the flour, then egg wash, then flour again.
5. Add avocado oil to a cast iron skillet, and fry the breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side.
6. Serve on a bun with any toppings you like – we add pickles and spicy mayo.

Stay sane,
