Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the buttermilk and stir gently until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until smooth. Flatten it out with your hands to about 1-inch thickness.
Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
While the biscuits are baking, heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegetarian chicken cutlets to the skillet and cook according to package instructions or until golden and fully heated through, usually about 4-5 minutes per side.
Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
To assemble the sandwiches, slice the biscuits in half horizontally. Spread a tablespoon of honey mustard sauce on the bottom half of each biscuit.
Place a vegetarian chicken cutlet on each biscuit, followed by a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato.
Top with the other half of the biscuit and serve warm.
