Ingredients for the High-Protein Broccoli Cheddar Biscuits

• Ground Chicken – it creates a tender, protein-packed base. For the best flavor and moisture, use regular ground chicken rather than extra lean.
• Broccoli – finely diced broccoli adds nutrition, fiber, vitamins, and moisture while blending perfectly into the biscuit mixture.
• Onion – adds natural sweetness and savory flavor throughout the biscuits.
• Eggs – help bind everything together while boosting the protein content.
• Greek Yogurt – plain Greek yogurt keeps the biscuits moist and adds extra protein without additional fat.
• Cheddar Cheese – sharp cheddar cheese delivers rich flavor and creates a delicious golden crust on top.
• Almond Flour – fine almond flour keeps these biscuits low carb, gluten-free, and incredibly tender.
• Baking Powder – provides lift and helps the biscuits bake up light and fluffy.
• Seasonings – garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and a touch of nutmeg create a savory flavor that complements the chicken perfectly.

Variations

• Ranch Chicken Biscuits – mix in 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning for extra flavor.
• Bacon Cheddar Biscuits – add cooked chopped bacon for a smoky twist.
• Spinach Chicken Biscuits – replace broccoli with finely chopped spinach.
• Southwest Chicken Biscuits – add diced bell peppers, pepper jack cheese, and taco seasoning.

How to Make Chicken Broccoli Biscuits

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the ground chicken and break it apart as it cooks.

Stir in:

• Broccoli
• Onion
• Salt
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Black pepper
• Nutmeg

Cook for 5–7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are softened.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs.

Add:

• Greek yogurt
• Almond flour
• Baking powder
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Mix until combined.

Fold in the cooled chicken and broccoli mixture.

Step 4: Shape the Biscuits

Using a large cookie scoop, portion the dough into 22–24 equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet.

Gently shape into biscuit rounds.

Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the tops and lightly press it into the dough.

Step 5: Bake
