Ingredients

Units Scale

For the fried chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

For the biscuits:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup milk

For the sausage gravy:

  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the biscuits. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently a few times. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2 inch and cut out biscuits using a round biscuit cutter. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  2. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the fried chicken. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  3. To make the sausage gravy, cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula. Once the sausage is cooked, sprinkle the flour over it and stir well to combine. Cook for another minute to cook off the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the milk while stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Assemble the fried chicken biscuit sandwich by splitting the biscuits in half. Place a fried chicken breast on the bottom half of each biscuit, then spoon a generous amount of sausage gravy over the chicken. Top with the other half of the biscuit.

Notes

For extra crispy fried chicken, you can marinate the chicken breasts in buttermilk for 1-2 hours before coating them in the flour mixture. Feel free to customize the flavor of the biscuits by adding shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or spices like garlic powder or dried thyme to the dough. To keep the biscuits light and fluffy, avoid over-kneading the dough. Gently bring it together and handle it as little as possible. If you prefer a spicier sausage gravy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the gravy while cooking. Serve the sandwich with a side of crispy hash browns, fresh fruit, or a simple green salad for a well-rounded meal. Enjoy!
