Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tube (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional Add-Ins & Swaps
- Swap cheddar for mozzarella, Colby Jack, or Gruyère.
- Add a dash of hot sauce for a little kick.
- Use leftover turkey instead of chicken (great post-holiday hack!).
- Sub crescent roll dough for a lighter crust option.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2️⃣ Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine:
- Chicken
- Mixed vegetables
- Cream of chicken soup
- Garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper
Mix well and set aside.
3️⃣ Prepare the Biscuits
Separate each biscuit and flatten into 4-inch circles.
Gently press each circle into a muffin cup to form a shell.
4️⃣ Fill & Top
Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into the biscuit cups.
Top each with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
5️⃣ Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
6️⃣ Cool & Serve
Let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm—and watch them disappear!
Tips for Success
- Don’t overfill—leave a little room so the filling doesn’t bubble over.
- Rotate your pan halfway through baking for even color.
- Let them cool in the tin for a few minutes to set properly before removing.
