Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Low sodium pickle juice
- 1 cup Low sodium buttermilk
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- as needed Cooking oil spray
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast horizontally to create two thin fillets and place them in a shallow bowl.
Pour low sodium pickle juice over the chicken fillets and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In another bowl, mix non-fat Greek yogurt with low sodium buttermilk until smooth.
Cut unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir the yogurt and buttermilk mixture into the flour and butter mix until just combined to form a dough.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.
Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat lightly with cooking oil spray.
Dredge the marinated chicken fillets in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Cook the chicken in the skillet, about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
Brush the baked biscuits with honey while they are still warm.
Split the biscuits in half, place a cooked chicken fillet inside each, and serve immediately.
