There’s nothing quite like starting the day with a warm, flaky chicken biscuit. It’s a perfect blend of buttery goodness and savory chicken, making it an irresistible breakfast treat. Inspired by my love for Chick-fil-A’s famous chicken biscuits, I decided to try my hand at making them at home.

Ingredients:

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold butter (cubed)
3/4 cup milk
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour (for coating)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
Oil for frying
Instructions:

Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts into small fillets and marinate them in buttermilk for 30 minutes.
Make the Biscuits: In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add milk, stirring until a dough forms. Roll it out and cut into biscuit shapes. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
Fry the Chicken: In another bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Coat the marinated chicken fillets in the flour mixture. Heat oil in a skillet and fry the chicken until crispy and golden.
Assemble the Biscuits: Slice the warm biscuits in half, place a crispy chicken fillet inside, and enjoy!
I have to say, the homemade version turned out amazing! However, it also made me appreciate the convenience of grabbing one from Chick-fil-A when I’m short on time. Their chicken biscuit is a classic, and if you’re curious about their other offerings, I’d recommend checking out the https://chick-filamenus.com/ for some meal inspiration.
