Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup pickle juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Start by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, mix together the pickle juice and skim milk. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make them thinner, and submerge them in the pickle juice mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 4
Cut 4 tablespoons of cold butter into small cubes. Mix the butter into the flour mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix it with 3/4 cup of skim milk.
Step 6
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk and egg mixture. Mix until just combined; be careful not to over-mix.
Step 7
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, knead gently, and then roll it out to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut biscuits using a 3-inch round cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 8
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
Step 9
Meanwhile, remove the chicken from the marinade. In a separate bowl, mix together paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Coat each chicken piece with this spice mix.
Step 10
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.
Step 11
Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown.
Step 12
In a small bowl, mix the light mayonnaise with honey to create a honey mayo sauce.
Step 13
Assemble the biscuits by slicing them in half and placing a piece of chicken between each. Add a dollop of honey mayo sauce on top of the chicken before closing the biscuit.
Step 14
Serve warm and enjoy your high-protein Chick-fil-A style chicken biscuits.
