High protein healthier spicy chicken biscuits with a dill pickle slaw!
Ingredients
Scale
- Your favorite frozen chicken tender or patty
For the biscuits:
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat will work)
- 1/4 cup whole milk, plus more for brushing tops
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp melted salted butter
- 2 cups bread flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp sea salt
For the slaw:
- Shredded cabbage or slaw mix
- Plain Greek yogurt
- Chopped dill pickles
- A splash of pickle juice
- Hot sauce
- Fresh dill (optional)
- Salt + pepper
Instructions
- Start by making the biscuits.
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Blend cottage cheese and milk until smooth and creamy. Stir in honey and melted butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough will look crumbly and slightly dry- that’s normal!
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Use floured hands to gently bring it together into a smoother dough. Be patient- it will come together.
- Flatten into a rough rectangle about 3/4-inch thick. Fold it like a letter (one side in, then the other over).
- Flatten again and repeat the folding process—this is what gives you those fluffy layers.
- Cut into 9 biscuits and place them touching on your baking sheet. Brush tops with milk.
- Bake for 17–20 minutes, until lightly golden.
- While biscuits are cooling, make you chicken according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, make slaw. This is a “measure with your heart” recipe- add yogurt, pickles, hot sauce, and salt and pepper to taste to a bowl, then mix in some slaw mix.
- Assemble sandwiches and enjoy!
