Ingredients

• 1 piece Boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 0.5 cup Low sodium pickle juice
• 1 cup Low sodium buttermilk
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0 as needed Cooking oil spray

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken breast horizontally to create two thin fillets and place them in a shallow bowl.

Step 2

Pour low sodium pickle juice over the chicken fillets and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5

In another bowl, mix non-fat Greek yogurt with low sodium buttermilk until smooth.

Step 6

Cut unsalted butter into small cubes and work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Stir the yogurt and buttermilk mixture into the flour and butter mix until just combined to form a dough.

Step 8

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits.

Step 9

Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 10

Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 11

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and coat lightly with cooking oil spray.

Step 12

Dredge the marinated chicken fillets in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

Step 13

Cook the chicken in the skillet, about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.

Step 14

Brush the baked biscuits with honey while they are still warm.

Step 15

Split the biscuits in half, place a cooked chicken fillet inside each, and serve immediately.
