This ketofied chicken recipe features pickle juice as the brine, and protein powder as the low-carb breading alternative. The result? Juicy and golden tenders that are a perfect dupe.  Brining and frying are the secrets to cooking flavorful chicken breasts.  Using pickle juice for the brine infuses these chicken tenders with their dill flavor, plus leads to perfectly seasoned meat.

Try serving these up with a side of our buffalo coleslaw, and our fire and ice pickles. These chicken strips are a great keto kid-friendly option too!  The breading itself uses no nut flours, so it’s suitable for those of you who cannot eat almond or coconut flour.
