    Chicken Egg and Cheese Biscuit Sandwich is a copycat recipe of the one served at Chick-fil-a restaurants.

    This breakfast sandwich combines a fried chicken breast, scrambled egg and cheese on a buttermilk biscuit for a delicious breakfast without going to Chick-fil-A... even on Sundays.

    Fried chicken for breakfast may sound strange, but pop it on a biscuit with some egg and cheese on top and it is something special. Especially when it is a Chick-fil-A copycat.

    Alternatives to frying chicken

    At the restaurant the chicken is pressure cooked in peanut oil. You can use a deep fat fryer, or heavy pan with oil to fry with you if you prefer.

    If you don't want to fry you can air fry or even bake it instead. Spraying with a little non-stick spray will help crisp up the crust a bit.

    Ingredients for Chick-fil-A clone breakfast sandwich

    Biscuits: use any biscuit recipe you prefer including the ones in the refrigerated tubes. If you prefer homemade you can try one of the recipes in the Notes section of the recipe.

    Chicken Breasts: Boneless skinless chicken breasts, or thighs if you prefer.

    Peanut Oil: For frying. Or any other frying oil you prefer.

    Cheese: Use American slices if you prefer or sliced cheddar or any other cheese you like.

    Pickle juice: This is one of the secrets to this recipe. It adds a pleasant little tang and tenderizes the chicken.

    Powdered sugar: The powdered sugar adds a touch of sweetness to counter the tang of the pickle juice.

    Other ingredients: eggs, milk, flour, salt, pepper
