Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups self-rising flour
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

Step 1

To prepare the chicken, cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a bowl, mix lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 4

For the biscuit dough, combine self-rising flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Chop unsalted butter into small pieces and cut into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Add milk and stir until the dough comes together. Knead gently a few times on a floured surface, then roll out to 1/2-inch thickness.

Step 6

Cut the dough into small squares (about 2 inches) and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Step 7

While the biscuits are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken pieces until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Step 8

In another small saucepan, combine honey and water, and heat on low until honey is fully dissolved. Brush the baked biscuits with the honey mixture.

Step 9

Slice the biscuits in half, add a piece of cooked chicken, and top with an additional drizzle of the honey mixture, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
