Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 1 cup pickle brine
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the pickle brine over the top. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for extra flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe dish and let it cool slightly. Mix in the heavy cream and egg.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a dough forms.
Scoop 8 equal portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape into biscuit rounds.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Let them cool slightly.
While the biscuits are baking, remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture over the chicken breasts.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
Slice the biscuits in half and place a piece of chicken between each biscuit to assemble the sandwiches.
Serve immediately, enjoying your homemade keto-friendly chicken biscuit!
