Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
- 3/4 cup Whole milk
- 2 pieces Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt (for chicken seasoning)
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the milk and stir just until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, gently knead it a few times, and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Reroll the scraps and repeat as needed.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the biscuits bake, prepare the chicken. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture into the chicken.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the chicken breasts into thick strips or leave them whole, depending on your preference.
Slice each biscuit in half horizontally and layer with a piece of cooked chicken. Drizzle with honey, if desired, and serve warm.
