Chicken Fried Biscuits And Gravy Recipe

How to Make Chicken Fried Biscuits And Gravy

1. In a large plastic bag, combine 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 2 cups buttermilk. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight for extra flavor).
2. Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C). Prepare buttermilk biscuits according to package directions. Once baked, keep warm in the preheated oven.
3. While biscuits bake, prepare the gravy: In a large skillet, brown 1 lb breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Do not drain the grease.
4. Once sausage is cooked, stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon browning seasoning. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk until smooth and thickened. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. While gravy simmers, prepare the chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon seasoning salt.
7. Heat 1/2 cup shortening in an electric skillet to 350°F (175°C).
8. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
9. Carefully place chicken breasts in the hot skillet. Fry for 6-8 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
10. Cut each buttermilk biscuit in half. Place one biscuit half on each plate.
11. Top each biscuit with a fried chicken breast.
12. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken.
13. Generously pour gravy over the cheese and chicken.
14. Serve immediately and enjoy!
