Garlic Cheese Biscuits

This is a recipe from my cooking class I took at BYU-I with a few alterations. I make these all the time & they are so good--even Jace loves them!

Garlic Cheese Biscuits


2 C. flour (I use whole wheat)

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

4 Tbsp. butter (I use 1 Tbsp. canola oil and 3 Tbsp. unsweetened applesauce)

1 C. milk

1 C. shredded cheddar cheese (I do 1/2 C.)

1 Tbsp. melted butter (optional--I don't use it--I just sprinkle on the garlic powder w/0 the butter)




Mix dry ingredients together in a bowl. Cut in butter. Quickly stir in milk & shredded cheese (and the oil if you're using that instead of butter) until just blended. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Brush with 1 Tbsp. melted butter & generously sprinkle garlic powder on each biscuit. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot. This recipe makes 8 large biscuits.

Cajun Chicken Strips

These are one of our favorites! They are so yummy & just lightly breaded.

Cajun Chicken Strips 

1/2 C. flour 

1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning 

3/4 tsp. garlic salt 

1/2 tsp. paprika

1/4 tsp. pepper 

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (you could add more cayenne if you want them to be more spicy) 

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts 

Cut chicken into 1/2 inch strips. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Dip the chicken strips one at a time to coat them with the dry mixture. Cook in heated skillet with a little bit of oil for 8-10 minutes or until done. 

*I like to add in extra of all of the spices. 

*I doubled this recipe when we had the missionaries over & there was plenty to feed us 4 adults with a little bit left over. 

*We like to have Au Gratin Potatoes with these.
