Spicy Southern Chicken And Tuna Biscuit Recipe

Ingredients

2 (16.3 ounce) cans refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury®)

2 skinless

boneless chicken breast halves

3 (5 ounce) cans tuna (such as Chicken of the Sea®)

drained

¼ cup mayonnaise (such as Best Foods®)

⅛ teaspoon whole grain mustard

1 teaspoon ground white pepper

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon paprika

⅛ teaspoon ground cumin

1 head lettuce

leaves rinsed and dried

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Place biscuit dough on a baking sheet about 1 to 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown about 11 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow the biscuits to cool.

Step 3

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and dice into 1/2 inch cubes.

Step 4

Mix tuna mayonnaise and mustard in a bowl until combined. Stir in white pepper cayenne pepper paprika and cumin. Reserve 1/4 of the tuna mixture in a separate bowl. Combine the remaining 3/4 portion of the tuna mixture with the chicken. Split each biscuit in half and place over a bed of lettuce leaves. Divide chicken and tuna mixture on top of each biscuit half. Use the remaining 1/4 portion of the tuna mixture as a garnish on the lettuce leaves.
