Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breasts, shredded or cubed
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Celery, finely diced
- 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Golden raisins (optional)
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (for biscuits)
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1 large Egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, honey, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Fold in the diced celery, sliced green onions, and golden raisins (if using). Cover and refrigerate the curried chicken salad while preparing the biscuits.
For the biscuits, in another mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and garam masala.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter (or your fingers) to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the milk into the flour mixture gradually, stirring gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it 2-3 times until it holds together. Roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter (or a glass) to cut out rounds from the dough, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Brush the tops of the biscuits lightly with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish during baking.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving. Pair the warm Garam Masala biscuits with a generous scoop of the chilled curried chicken salad.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful mix of flavors and textures.
