Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 lb lean ground chicken or ground turkey
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1.5 cups gluten free flour I like King Arthur Baking
  • 1.5 teaspoon baking powder look for gluten free
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 0.5 cup cottage cheese I like Good Culture 2% brand. If your cottage cheese is runny or thin, add 1-2 extra tablespoon of gluten free flour.
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup milk of choice I used almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Egg wash

  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions
 

Cooking Directions

  • Preheat oven to 450.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground chicken, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon sage. Cook for 5-6 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break up the chicken, until cooked through. Drain any fat. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the gluten free flour, baking powder, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, and rosemary. Mix to combine.
  • To the same bowl, add the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, milk of choice, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine.
  • Add the cooked ground chicken and fold it in to combine.
  • Spray a large baking sheet with avocado oil. Drop the biscuits onto the baking sheet using a spoon. You should have 12 biscuits total.
  • Combine the egg and water to make the egg wash. Brush some of the egg wash over each of the biscuits.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes until the edges are beginning to brown and they have puffed up a bit. Let them cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

Do not overmix: Overmixing can result in dense and less fluffy biscuits. Store leftover biscuits in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave for 30-60 seconds or airfry at 360 for 2-3 minutes.
