Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Pickle juice
- 0.5 cup Almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Non-dairy butter alternative
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (for dredging)
Directions
Step 1
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner pieces. Place them between plastic wrap and pound them gently until they are 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Season the chicken with this spice blend.
Step 3
Place the seasoned chicken in a resealable plastic bag. Add pickle juice and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for extra flavor.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes to create a buttermilk substitute.
Step 5
In a medium bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar. Cut in the non-dairy butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 6
Stir the almond milk mixture into the flour mixture just until a dough forms. Be careful not to over-mix.
Step 7
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut out biscuits with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. You should have about 4 biscuits.
Step 8
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the vegetable oil to about 350°F (175°C).
Step 9
While the oil is heating, dredge each piece of chicken in the cup of all-purpose flour for dredging until well coated. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 10
Fry the chicken in the oil for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 11
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 12
Place biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with melted non-dairy butter.
Step 13
Bake the biscuits for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 14
To assemble, slice the biscuits in half and place a piece of fried chicken on the bottom half. Drizzle a bit of honey over the chicken if desired. Top with the other biscuit half.
Step 15
Serve warm and enjoy your dairy-free Chick-fil-A style chicken biscuit!
