Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 1 cup whole grain biscuit mix
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Slice the chicken breast into four equal fillets. In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and optional salt. Mix well.
Pour the low-fat buttermilk into a separate bowl. Dip each chicken fillet in the buttermilk, then coat evenly with the flour mixture.
Place the coated chicken fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
In another bowl, combine the whole grain biscuit mix and baking powder. Cut in unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add non-fat Greek yogurt and mix just until dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Roll the dough onto a floured surface and cut into 4 biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Once the biscuits are done, let them cool slightly. Spread honey on one half of each biscuit.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a baked chicken fillet, lettuce leaf, and tomato slice between each biscuit.
Serve warm and enjoy a heart-healthy meal!
