Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
• 3/4 cup Whole milk
• 2 pieces Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt (for chicken seasoning)
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Honey (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk and stir just until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Turn the dough onto a floured surface, gently knead it a few times, and pat it into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.

Step 6

Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Reroll the scraps and repeat as needed.

Step 7

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 8

While the biscuits bake, prepare the chicken. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture into the chicken.

Step 10

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 11

Slice the chicken breasts into thick strips or leave them whole, depending on your preference.

Step 12

Slice each biscuit in half horizontally and layer with a piece of cooked chicken. Drizzle with honey, if desired, and serve warm.
