For the Burrito:
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

For the Sauce (Optional):

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- Marinate chicken in pickle juice and buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for extra flavor).
- In a bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne.
- In another bowl, whisk egg and milk.
- Remove chicken from the marinade, dip into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and coat with panko breadcrumbs for a crispy finish.
- Fry: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 3-4 minutes per side). Alternatively, air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Cook the Eggs & Hash Browns:
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until fluffy. Set aside.
- Cook frozen hash browns or potato tots according to package instructions.
Assemble the Burrito:
- Warm tortillas in a dry pan for 30 seconds on each side.
- Layer scrambled eggs, crispy chicken, hash browns, and shredded cheese in the center of each tortilla.
- Drizzle with Chick-fil-A sauce or salsa (if using).
- Fold the sides in and roll tightly into a burrito.
Serve & Enjoy:
- Optionally, toast the burrito in a skillet for 1-2 minutes per side for a golden, crispy finish.
- Slice in half and serve with extra sauce on the side!
Notes
- Want it faster? Use pre-cooked frozen chicken tenders instead of homemade.
- Healthier option: Air fry or bake the chicken and use whole wheat tortillas.
- Make ahead: Wrap burritos in foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
- Spicy version: Add jalapeños or Chick-fil-A’s spicy chicken seasoning.
