Daylon’s Healthier Fried Chicken Sandwich

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

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

Stay sane,
