Description
This Chick-fil-A-inspired Egg White Grill sandwich features tender marinated grilled chicken, fluffy baked egg whites, melted cheese, and a toasted English muffin for a protein-packed breakfast you can make at home or meal prep for the week.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
- ½ cup pickle juice
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1½ cups egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 4 light multi-grain English muffins
- 4 slices cheddar or American cheese (about 2 oz total)
Instructions
- Pound chicken breasts to even thickness and cut into 4 sandwich-sized pieces.
- Marinate chicken in pickle juice, onion powder, garlic powder, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil for at least 2 hours (up to 8 hours).
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish. Whisk egg whites with half the salt, pour into the dish, and bake until set. Cool slightly and cut into 4 portions.
- Grill chicken on medium-high heat until cooked through and browned on both sides.
- Toast English muffins lightly.
- Assemble each sandwich with egg whites, grilled chicken, and 1 slice of cheese inside an English muffin.
Notes
- Use whole eggs for a richer version.
- Try avocado instead of cheese for a dairy-free option.
- Swap English muffins for gluten-free or low-carb alternatives if needed.
- Different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss can be used for variation.
