Get the Recipe: Low Carb Chicken and Biscuits

5 from 1 rating

Ingredients
 

For the Low Carb Biscuits

  • 3 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups super fine blanched almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

For the Breaded Chicken

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into pieces suitable for the biscuit
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons cajun seasoning, or your favorite all purpose seasoning blend
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions
 

For the Biscuits

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a mixing bowl combine the softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese and eggs. Stir until cream cheese is smooth with no clumps.
  • Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream and melted butter.
  • Stir until combined. Do not overmix or biscuits will be tough.
  • Chill the dough 10-15 minutes.
  • Lightly sprinkle almond flour onto a cutting board and turn the dough onto the floured surface. Pat the biscuits to about 1/2 inch thick and use a biscuit cutter or the top of a mason jar to cut out your biscuits.
  • Place the biscuits onto a greased or silicone lined baking sheet.
  • Bake 15-18 minutes until golden.

For the Chicken

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F
  • Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray, or line with aluminum foil.
  • In one shallow bowl combine the egg and mayonnaise, beat with a fork until it is completely combined. Set aside.
  • In another shallow bowl combine the breading ingredients. Dip each sliced chicken tender into the egg mixture, then dredge in the breading. Make sure the tenders are completely coated.
  • Once each tender is coated well, lay on the cooking sheet and brush with the melted butter.
  • Bake 15 minutes, turn the tenders carefully using tongs and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
