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.
