Chicken Biscuits & Gravy
Chicken Biscuits & Gravy
You will get the best of both worlds with this dish. A chicken biscuit and biscuits and gravy! You will never eat biscuits & gravy the same after this! You are more than welcome to make your own biscuits but I like Pillsbury Homestyle biscuits. They are buttery, flaky and the perfect size! This recipe makes 4 chicken breasts but if you would like to make a full 8 servings, just cut up 4 chicken breasts instead of 2. The gravy measurements are the still the same. I always make extra gravy since my husband loves it. Also, you can substitute boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts if you like that better. Split 2 chicken breasts and cut them evenly.
Season the chicken breasts with 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tsp cajun seasoning, 1 tsp paprika and 1 tsp of onion powder.
Pour 1 cup of buttermilk in a bowl. Add the chicken breasts and 3-4 dashes of hot sauce. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the biscuits according to the package directions.
In a skillet, add 8 oz of breakfast sausage and cook completely.
Add 1 tbsp of flour to the cooked sausage and stir.
Pour 1 1/2 cup of half & half to the sausage and stir. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the gravy thickens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the biscuits from the oven once they are fully cooked.
Add vegetable oil to a cast iron skillet. Season 2 cups of flour with 1 tsp of cajun seasoning. Add the chicken breast to the flour and make sure each one is fully coated.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook 3-5 minutes per side or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove and set aside to drain any excess oil
Cut the biscuits in half and add 1 chicken breast to each biscuit.
Top each biscuit with the sausage gravy. Serve with a side of scrambled eggs for a complete brunch meal. ENJOY!
