Copycat Chick-fil-A Sandwich

You won’t believe how easy this copycat recipe is, and it tastes 100000x better than the original! You can’t beat that!

When you live 1.34 miles away from Chick-fil-A, it’s only natural to pick up a Chick-fil-A sandwich on a weekly basis. But since I have already tried re-creating their nuggets, I finally gave their sandwich a try, and I am happy to report back that we may never have to go through that drive-thru lane ever again.

The sandwich is made similar to their nuggets, except you’ll be using thin sliced chicken cutlets here. You can also use chicken breast, butterflied and pounded out, but either way, this sandwich will knock your socks off.

It’s amazingly crisp, juicy and tender, and you can load up your burger with plenty of pickles, greens and tomatoes, which are all three toppings they tend to skimp on! You can also prep the chicken beforehand, pop it in the fridge, and cook it right before serving. Easy peasy!

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup dill pickle juice
• 1 ½ cups milk, divided
• 1 cup peanut oil
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For serving

• 4 hamburger buns, split
• 1 head green leaf lettuce, leaves separated
• 1 beefsteak tomato, sliced
• Dill pickle slices

Instructions

• Place a chicken breast on a cutting board. With your hand flat on top of it, carefully slice the chicken in half horizontally. Trim excess fat as needed.
• In a large shallow baking dish, combine chicken, pickle juice and 1/2 cup milk; marinate for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.
• Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
• In another large shallow baking dish, whisk together remaining 1 cup milk and egg. Stir in chicken to coat and drain excess milk mixture.
• In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken, flour and confectioners' sugar; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Working in batches, add chicken to the skillet and cook until evenly golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Serve chicken immediately on burger buns with green leaf lettuce, tomato and pickles.
