This copycat chick-fil-a sandwich brings your daily value in flavor! Feel free to change things up.
- Add slices of creamy avocado to introduce healthy fats that fit into your daily diet.
- Spoon on some pickled red onions for a pop of tangy flavor that wakes up your taste buds.
- Crumble crisp turkey bacon bits on top for a crunchy, savory boost that reminds you of that juicy backyard-grilled taste you get from a great grilled chicken club sandwich.
- Add a layer of spicy jalapeños to take the flavor to the next level.
- Spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt-based sauce instead of regular mayo for a light, tangy twist.
- Top with crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese to add a tangy contrast.
- Use a drizzle of balsamic glaze to give a sweet and rich finish that pairs wonderfully with the chicken and your special blend of seasonings.
ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?
No fast food restaurants needed. Your classic chick-fil-a sandwich gets made right at home.
- Swap the toasted multigrain bun with a gluten-free bun to support low-carb health goals or if you’re on a keto diet recipes path.
- Substitute the cheese with a lower-fat cheese or even a dairy-free cheese slice if you want healthier options.
- Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo in the sauce to cut down on g fat and total carbs.
- Try a sugar-free barbecue sauce instead of the sweet bbq sauce to reduce sugar and still make your taste buds happy.
- Instead of butter, use olive oil or coconut oil to alter the flavor profile and possibly fit better into your meal plan.
HOW TO STORE:
This can be stored unassembled in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to 3 days. Store everything in separate airtight containers.
The chicken can also be frozen, place in a freezer container and it will keep for up to 3 months.
To reheat place in the microwave or oven just until heated through, if any longer, you run the chance of it drying out.
DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:
- We like to use a sweet BBQ sauce for the sauce.
- You can use thin-cut chicken breasts if you can find them.
- Easily double this recipe to serve more people.
- Thick-cut bacon works best, but use what you have on hand.
- Other cheeses can be used, see above on ideas.
- This can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
