Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Filling:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce or ranch dressing
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Biscuit Cups:
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- Chopped green onions or parsley for garnish (optional)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin with nonstick spray.
- Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cheddar cheese, cream cheese, buffalo sauce or ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
- Form Biscuit Cups: Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch round. Press each one into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin cups. Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each biscuit cup.
- Bake: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Serve: Let cool slightly, then garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- You can swap in BBQ sauce for buffalo or ranch, or use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella for a gooier filling.
- These are great for meal prep, parties, or lunchboxes and reheat well in the oven or microwave.
