Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
2️⃣ Prepare the Creamy Chicken Base
In a skillet:
- Heat olive oil.
- Sauté onion until soft (3–4 minutes).
- Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Stir in chicken broth and simmer 2–3 minutes.
- Reduce heat and mix in:
- Greek yogurt
- Cottage cheese
- Cream cheese
- Seasonings
Stir until creamy and smooth.
Add cooked chicken and shredded cheese. Mix well.
Pour into baking dish.
3️⃣ Make Biscuit Dough
In bowl, combine:
- Almond flour
- Oat flour
- Protein powder
- Baking powder
- Salt
Add:
- Egg
- Greek yogurt
- Melted butter
Mix until soft dough forms.
4️⃣ Add Biscuit Topping
Scoop small portions of dough and drop evenly over chicken mixture.
It doesn’t need to fully cover the top — the gaps allow steam to rise and bake perfectly.
5️⃣ Add Cheese & Bake
Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top.
Bake 25–30 minutes until:
- Biscuit tops are golden
- Cheese is melted and bubbly
- Edges slightly browned
Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving.
