Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the organic yogurt, egg, salt, garlic powder, and paprika.
  2. Stir in the flour and baking powder until a thick, shaggy dough forms; do not overmix.
  3. Fold in 3 tbsp of avocado oil/butter to ensure biscuit flakiness.
  4. Drop large mounds of dough onto a parchment-lined tray, press down slightly, and bake at 425°F for 18–20 minutes until golden brown.
  5. While biscuits bake, toss the chicken strips with salt, paprika, garlic, and onion powder in a bag or bowl to coat thoroughly.
  6. Dredge the seasoned chicken in a light dusting of flour until fully coated.
  7. Heat 4 tbsp avocado oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  8. Split the warm biscuits open and nestle the fried chicken strips inside, serving immediately.

FAQ

How long does this Chick-fil-A-Style Chicken Biscuit keep?

For the best texture, serve immediately. You can reheat the chicken and biscuits separately in an oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes.

Can I swap the biscuit dough for a different base?

Yes, you can use several tablespoons of mashed avocado or extra mashed banana to replace some of the yogurt if you prefer a different fruit/fat profile in the dough.
