At home version of a popular Chick-fil-A meal

College students love Chick Fil A. If you walk into the student center you will see the Chick Fil A line backed up at almost all times of the day. But what would you do if I told you that you could make some of your favorite Chick Fil A meals right at home? Not only would you avoid the long line, but you'd also be saving on many unnecessary processed ingredients.  The first Chick Fil A meal that can be easily made at home is the chicken sandwich.  This version comes from happilyunprocessed.com, and helps cut out all the unneeded extra ingredients to give you a cleaner, identical tasting version of the Chick Fil A chicken sandwich.  Ingredients  1 large chicken breast 1/2 cup pickle juice  1 large egg  1/4 cup whole mik  1 cup flour  1 Tbsp powdered sugar  1/4 tsp baking soda  1 1/2 tsp paprika divided 1/4 tsp dry mustard  4 whole wheat buns  1 Tbsp butter  8 pickles  3 Tbsp vinegar  4-5 Tbsp good quality olive oil Directions 4 hours before, slice chicken breasts in half, then cut in half again making 4 similar size pieces.  Pound  with a mallet to even out. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and 1/2 tsp paprika.  Place chicken in a large Ziploc bag and pour the pickle juice in.
