Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit Recipe
Ingredients
For the Honey Butter Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
For the Biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
For the Honey Butter Glaze:
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
Honey Butter Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and have a golden-brown crust.
- Drizzle the honey over the cooked chicken breasts, letting it caramelize slightly. Coat the chicken evenly with the honey-butter mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
Biscuits:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Gently mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits from the dough. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each biscuit.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
Honey Butter Glaze:
- In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and honey until well combined.
Assembly:
- Split the baked biscuits in half.
- Place a piece of the honey butter chicken on the bottom half of each biscuit.
- Drizzle a spoonful of the honey butter glaze over the chicken.
- Place the top half of the biscuit on the chicken.
- Serve the honey butter chicken biscuits warm and enjoy!
Tips for the Perfect Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits
- Flavor Balance: The combination of honey-butter chicken and savory biscuits creates a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors.
- Chicken Cooking: Make sure to cook the chicken until it’s fully cooked with a nice golden-brown crust. The honey will add a caramelized glaze.
- Biscuit Texture: Handle the biscuit dough gently to ensure light and fluffy biscuits. Overworking the dough can result in tough biscuits.
- Buttermilk Substitution: If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 3/4 cup of milk. Let it sit for a few minutes before using.
- Honey Butter Glaze: The glaze adds an extra layer of sweetness and shine. Adjust the honey to your taste preference.
- Serving: Enjoy the honey butter chicken biscuits as a delicious breakfast, brunch, or even as a satisfying dinner.
Indulge in the delightful combination of tender honey butter chicken and freshly baked biscuits, creating a comfort food masterpiece that will leave you craving more.
How to Store
To store Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits, follow these steps:
- Cool Down: Allow the biscuits to cool down to room temperature before storing.
- Airtight Container: Place the biscuits in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out.
- Refrigerate: Store the biscuits in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Reheat: When ready to eat, reheat the biscuits in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
It’s best to store the honey butter separately and apply it to the biscuits just before serving to maintain their texture.
