Ingredients

• 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)
• 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
• 1 cup whole grain biscuit mix
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 4 lettuce leaves
• 1 tomato, sliced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

Slice the chicken breast into four equal fillets. In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and optional salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Pour the low-fat buttermilk into a separate bowl. Dip each chicken fillet in the buttermilk, then coat evenly with the flour mixture.

Step 4

Place the coated chicken fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.

Step 5

In another bowl, combine the whole grain biscuit mix and baking powder. Cut in unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Add non-fat Greek yogurt and mix just until dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Roll the dough onto a floured surface and cut into 4 biscuits using a biscuit cutter.

Step 8

Place biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 9

Once the biscuits are done, let them cool slightly. Spread honey on one half of each biscuit.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwiches by placing a baked chicken fillet, lettuce leaf, and tomato slice between each biscuit.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy a heart-healthy meal!
