Flaky buttermilk biscuits encase crispy garlic-herb chicken and tangy pickles, offering bold Southern flavors in a handheld format. This recipe highlights precise ingredient ratios for a balance of textures with a seared chicken crust and moist, rise-ready dough. Perfect for casual meals.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour (80g white) + ¼ cup cornmeal (20g corn)
1½ tsp double-acting baking powder (5g)
1½ tsp granulated sugar (5g)
75g unsalted butter, chilled
6 tbsp buttermilk (120ml)
200g flat-cut chicken breasts
Dill or whole grain pickles, to taste
50g mayonnaise
25g whole grain mustard
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp ground black pepper


Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C)
Pound chicken breasts to ¼-inch thickness
Cut or cube chicken into bite-sized pieces
In a zip-top bag, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, 1 tsp sea salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and the cubed chicken
Seal and toss gently until coating is even
Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, and sea salt into a bowl
Add 75g chilled butter and cut in using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs
Drizzle 6 tbsp buttermilk into the bowl and mix with a fork until a soft dough forms
Knead dough 3-5 times on a floured surface
Roll dough to ¾-inch thickness and cut into small biscuit shapes
Bake biscuits for 10–12 minutes until golden and flaky
Let chicken rest in refrigerator 10–15 minutes after seasoning
Sear chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden and cooked through
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, and remaining ½ tsp sea salt
Spread mixture into the base of each warm biscuit, add a chicken piece, pickle slice, and top with another biscuit

Notes

Ensure butter remains cold for flakiest results
Do not over-knead dough to maintain light texture
Adjust pickles based on desired tanginess
Letting chicken rest slightly enhances the sear
