Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 6 oz) boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.5 cup nonfat buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- non-stick cooking spray
- 1 package (8 biscuits) low-fat biscuit dough
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into 4 equal pieces and pound each piece to an even thickness.
In a large bowl, combine nonfat buttermilk and hot sauce. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to marinate.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, mix whole wheat flour, cornstarch, salt, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off, and coat each piece in the flour mixture, pressing slightly to adhere.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and generously spray each side with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy, turning halfway through baking.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the low-fat biscuits according to package instructions.
To assemble the chicken biscuits, split each biscuit in half and place a piece of baked chicken in the center. Serve warm.
