Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 pound chicken breasts
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese
  • 0.75 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Add buttermilk and stir until dough comes together.
  4. Step 4: Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 2-3 times until smooth.
  5. Step 5: Roll dough out to 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.
  6. Step 6: Place rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Step 7: While biscuits are baking, prepare chicken by whisking together flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish.
  8. Step 8: Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture, shaking off excess.
  9. Step 9: Heat 1/2-inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  10. Step 10: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and hot sauce. Scramble eggs in a separate skillet over medium heat until cooked through.
  11. Step 11: Assemble biscuits by spreading melted butter on each round, then topping with a piece of fried chicken, a spoonful of scrambled eggs, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  12. Step 12: Serve immediately and enjoy!
