Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a dish and cover with pickle juice. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, to tenderize and flavor the meat.

Dredge the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pickle juice and pat dry. Dip each piece first in the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture.
-
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your Arteflame grill to medium-high. Brush the grill surface lightly with peanut oil. Place the breaded chicken on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
-
Prepare the Buns: Lightly brush the hamburger buns with butter and toast them on the grill for about 1 minute, or until they are lightly browned.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches: Place each grilled chicken breast on a toasted bun. Top with two pickle slices. Add mayonnaise or Chick-fil-A sauce if desired.
