Description
This quick and crispy chicken biscuits and gravy recipe is a weeknight game-changer—tender chicken cutlets, fluffy biscuits, and creamy peppered gravy all ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
For the chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded thin
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the biscuits:
1 can refrigerated flaky biscuits (8 count)
For the gravy:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven and bake biscuits according to package instructions.
2. While biscuits bake, dip chicken in buttermilk, then dredge in a mix of flour, panko, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
4. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute.
5. Gradually whisk in milk and cook until thickened. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper.
6. Split biscuits and top each with crispy chicken. Spoon warm gravy over the top.
7. Serve immediately with optional hot sauce or fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra crispiness, air fry the chicken instead of pan-frying.
Use rotisserie chicken for an even faster shortcut.
Double the gravy if you like it extra saucy!
